What you need to know to Plant & Grow
This mixture includes a natural corn meal carrier to make broadcasting effortless and ensure even seed distribution across your seedbed.
-
Site Preparation: Choose a sunny to semi-shaded location. Remove all weeds and lightly loosen the top 2.5 cm (1″) of soil to create a receptive, well-drained planting surface.
-
Sowing: Shake the container thoroughly before application to evenly blend the seeds and corn meal carrier. Distribute the mixture uniformly over your prepared area.
-
Establishment: Lightly rake the seeds into the loose soil, then tamp down or roll gently to ensure solid seed-to-soil contact.
-
Watering: Keep the seedbed consistently moist throughout the 2–4 week germination period. Keep in mind that while annuals will bloom vigorously in their first season, biennials and perennials will focus on root growth and flower in their second year.
Why this Shade Mixture belongs in Your Garden
If you have areas under dappled tree canopies or along fences where grass struggles and full-sun wildflowers fade, this mixture is the perfect solution. It effortlessly converts dull, semi-shaded spaces into a lush garden filled with diverse textures, rich colours, and pollinator activity.
