Suitable for sowing within hedgerows and semi-shaded woodlands. Due to light levels being lower than in the open field sites, growth of companion grasses will be slow, making this mixture low in maintenance. Brambles may require control from time to time.
When growing in shaded areas or under trees, clear debris and rake the area to leave areas of soil suitable for sowing your wildflower mixture.
1Kg covers up to 200 square metres sown at 5 grams per square metre.
