meadow flowers

[tezz brown]

Thanks for the offer Georgie but I did collect some seed from huge daisy like flowers in the grass verges on the school run last year.  Not sure if they are Ox eyes?  They were about 3' tall and ... well, like very big daisys really!  About an inch to 2 inches across the flower head.


Thought I might sow them in seed trays - all mixed up and then so I don't have to disturb the roots, lay them out like turves in to the border.

                                                    :D

machman the seed tray method you are about to try is the method that i and the enviroment group from a large chemical company had recomended to us by the local council conservation department when we wanted to try and turn a large piece of spare waste land into a flower meadow,...thousands of plants where grown from seed and then planted in small plots dotted abouut the site,...we had some success ? :) :)

Could I suggest that you Google "MAS Seeds". You will find a wealth of information on seeds for every type of soil, and I have used this company to provide mixtures for three areas that I want to make into wildflower meadow areas. They are very responsive to technical queries, and it is well worth spending time on their site.
