Pastels Mix 100% Wildflowers (JC3135) is a visually striking blend of over 15 carefully selected annual, biennial, and perennial wildflower species. Designed to deliver soft pastel tones from spring through autumn, this mix provides long flowering periods while supporting pollinators and biodiversity.

Developed to thrive in shallow, free-draining substrates, Pastels Mix is particularly well suited to changing weather conditions and low-nutrient environments. It is ideal for landscape schemes where colour impact, ecological benefit, and resilience are required, including public realm projects, amenity spaces, ecological enhancements, and ornamental wildflower displays.

This mix offers both immediate colour from annuals and longer-term structure from perennial species, making it suitable for projects requiring seasonal impact alongside sustainability.

  • Seedbed Preparation: Prepare a fine, firm seedbed free from weeds and competing vegetation. On shallow or low-fertility substrates, minimal cultivation is recommended.
  • Sowing Time: Best sown in spring or early autumn when soil temperatures and moisture levels support germination.
  • Sowing Rate: Broadcast seed evenly across the surface and lightly firm to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Avoid burying seed deeply.
  • Establishment: Annual species provide early colour, while biennials and perennials establish over subsequent seasons. Flowering continues from April through October.
  • Management: Deadhead selectively if extended flowering is required, or allow natural seed set for self-regeneration.
  • Long-Term Care: Avoid fertilisers and excessive irrigation. Periodic cutting and removal of arisings will help maintain species balance.

Core species, colours and flowering period

Location overview Best suited to open, sunny locations with shallow or free-draining soils. Performs well in urban landscapes, raised beds, banks, and low-fertility sites where traditional planting struggles.
Shade tolerance Prefers full sun. Will tolerate light partial shade, though flowering density and colour intensity may be reduced.
Soil type Free-draining soils including sandy soils, gravelly substrates, and low organic matter mixes.
Soil fertility Low fertility conditions are ideal. High nutrient levels may encourage excessive leaf growth at the expense of flowering.
Moisture Adapted to dry to moderately moist conditions once established. Avoid waterlogged soils.
