Bring traditional wildflowers to your garden and countryside with our easy to grow conservation-grade seed mix. 

The species in this mix are easy to grow and suitable for most soil types with the exception of extremely dry soils. The inclusion of 40% annual flowers will show colour from the first year, while the biennials and perennials will carry the colour through the following years. The flowering period is from May to July, and on into September.

These wildflowers species are very versatile and provide intense, vibrant colours in swathes and patches. For impact, try cutting this mix short at the front, medium height in the centre and leave tall at the back. The species will provide strong colour swathes at three different height levels with shorter species more prominent at the front, and taller species at the back. Enjoy as our native bee species and butterflies thrive amongst these flowers.

For best results, sow onto prepared, weed-free bare soil. Read our guide to preparing ground for wildflower seeds before you sow.

What is an annual species?

An annual species is a plant that completes its entire life cycle—from germination to flowering, seed production, and death—within a single growing season. Unlike perennials, which return year after year, annuals need to be replanted each year.

In the context of meadow seeds, annual species (like Cornflower, Poppy, and Corn Marigold) provide quick bursts of color but won't regrow the following year unless they reseed naturally. They are often included in seed mixes for instant impact while slower-growing perennials establish.

What is a perennial species?

A perennial species is a plant that lives for multiple years, flowering and producing seeds repeatedly after the first year. Unlike annuals, which complete their life cycle in one season, perennials establish deeper root systems and return year after year.

However, perennials do not typically flower in the same year they are planted. They focus on root and foliage growth in their first year, taking at least one, if not two years, to bloom. Once established, perennials such as Oxeye Daisy, Red Campion, and Meadow Buttercup provide long-term, sustainable wildflower displays. They require less maintenance over time and offer lasting benefits for pollinators and biodiversity.

Love learning new things!
Format: Paperback
Love the book but unless you have a foreknowledge of myths from around the world and the experts that have written about them, you will need your phone next to you to look up everything that is being talked about. Like, on every page. Not an easy read.

Properly intellectual, and both demanding and rewarding as such
Format: Paperback
Anyone who plans to read this book is likely to know its premise already, so, I will not spend time or effort to recap it. All I can say is that the way the book is more eloquent, is altogether smarter, and more beautifully written than I expected. This is a true intellectual treat written with proper intellectual verve. So, no conspiracy theorists, or the simpleton believers in ancient aliens need not apply. If, however, you achieved a proper academic attainment - got your Masters or PhD and enjoy intellectual stimulation, this is a rare gem, to be digested slowly and deliberately, as no similar book is to be encountered any time soon. In other words, just a great book, presenting fascinating thoughts. It does not need anyone’s endorsement, as it is already a well-known entity within its field, yet, here it is – very heartily recommend!

Get it before it goes back out of print!
Format: Paperback
This book sat on my wish list for years while the price hovered just a bit too high for my liking. My patience has been rewarded with a back in print price that makes getting it a no-brainer. That said, I can't say I believe the main theory of this book, but it is a good start and an enjoyable read regardless. It seems to me that authors feel a need to propound an overarching and impossible-to-prove theory, in order to write some comparative mythology. I was brought to this book a long time ago after reading Charles Hapgood's Map of ancient Sea Kings. Another good author in the same vein is Gavin White, who wrote Babalonian Star Lore and several others.

I'm rereading the book. It's great!
The idea of progress is a relatively knew idea within the history of humans. The idea of progress is fundamental to the ideas of Capitalism and economic growth. Many Americans blindly believe that of progress, economic growth, and Capitalism are leading to the betterment of humans. If one carefully reads the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report, it states that CO2 (and other greenhouse gasses) emissions are driving global warming and thus climate change. That report also says that economic growth and population growth are driving those emissions. Climate change is one of the "progress traps" Wright is talking about. Progress does not inexorably lead to the betterment of humans. Nor do growth economies, including Capitalism. Wright helps readers see the big pictures of how humans have interacted with the Earth in ways that destroy civilizations and threatens to ruin our host, Earth. The Myth of Progress by Tom Wessells is another good book about progress.

Each time history repeats itself, the price goes up
What is the difference between our 21st century global civilization, the ancient Sumerians, the Easter Islanders of Cook's day, empirical Rome, or the Maya civilization. Answer, not much. The last four are all societies that had their heyday, become stuck in a paradigm, and then brought ecological disaster on themselves via overpopulation and over exploitation of natural resources. "Each time history repeats itself, the price goes up", Wrights quotes from some pertinent graffiti. The cost this time could be in the billions of souls. This a short book 132 pages of actual text with another 68 or so of footnotes at the end. It is a mad rush through human history exploring the collapse of those civilizations and a couple that have been more sustainable. Wright also explores the traps of progress. That is mankind becomes so good at hunting he drives his food source into extinction. Then we become so proficient at an irrigation technology we ruin the land. We become so good at weapons we create bombs that could ruin the whole world. As a race, he contends, we seem to push every technology to the brink, to our collective woe. I read with highlighter in hand. I had to restrain myself for marking whole long sections. As it is, the book now has a pink glow. Several pages have yellow tabs so I can find passages easily again. One such passage from the book summarizes it for me: "The human inability to foresee - or to watch out for - long-range consequences may be inherent to our kind, shaped by the millions of years when we lived from hand to mouth by hunting and gathering. It may also be little more than a mix of inertia, greed, and foolishness encouraged by the shape of the social pyramid. The concentration of power at the top of large-scale societies gives the elite a vested interest in the status quo; they continue to prosper in darkening times long after the environment and general populace begin to suffer." I remember as a biology major we studied the boom and bust cycle of animal populations. It was suggested in class that the human animal could follow the same cycle. The professor dismissed the idea, but not so Wright. He sees us at the high point in a few years, then the collapse unless we act now. One other passage really struck home with me: "The idea that the world must be run by the stock market is as mad as any other fundamentalist delusion, Islamic, Christian, or Marxist." That tears at the very sand we have our society built on. The sheer pace of Wright's march through history mirrors the author's urgency about how long we have to act to save our society. The countdown has already begun. The question remains, do we have the gumption to take the necessary action. The book is at its heart liberal, and rightly so. Any possible solution to forestall the potential social collapse will not be from the top of the pyramid. They long ago seemed to have forgotten the concept of usufruct; we are just borrowing this planet from our children and grandchildren. Wright holds out a glimmer of hope, but the candle is flickering.
