Coastal Wildflower Meadow Mix

Coastal growing conditions are tough — salt-laden winds, freely draining sandy or shelly soils, and high exposure. Most general wildflower mixes don’t perform well in these conditions. The Coastal mix is selected specifically for sites near the sea, with perennials, annuals, and biennials that are naturally wind and drought tolerant.

Suitable for coastal gardens, clifftop amenity areas, dune margins, and sandy-soiled ground within reach of salt air. The mix flowers from spring through to autumn and supports coastal pollinators including several specialist bee species that favour open, low-vegetation habitats.

Sow at 3g per square metre into exposed sandy or calcareous soil. Coastal soils are typically nutrient-poor, which favours wildflower establishment. Firm the seedbed well — light sandy soils can shift in wind. Spring or early autumn sowing both work. Heights range from 15cm to 100cm.
