Showy Mix 100% Wildflowers – JC4510

100% annual wildflower mix with 50+ species. Long-season colour and pollinator support for parks, ecological projects, and ornamental landscapes.

Showy Mix 100% Wildflowers (JC4510) is an extensive blend of over 50 annual wildflower species, carefully selected to deliver an abundant, long-lasting display of colour while supporting a wide range of pollinators.

Featuring species such as Calendula, Coreopsis, Cornflower, Poppy, Nigella, and Lobularia, Showy Mix provides an impressive flowering period from early summer through to late autumn. Its dense and varied composition encourages bees, butterflies, hoverflies, and other beneficial insects, making it an excellent choice for biodiversity-focused landscapes.

This mix is ideal for public parks, ecological enhancement projects, field margins, and ornamental displays where maximum visual impact and ecological benefit are desired. Showy Mix establishes quickly in a range of soils and delivers both ecological function and aesthetic appeal throughout the growing season.

  • Seedbed Preparation: Prepare a fine, firm seedbed, free from weeds and competing vegetation. Light rolling or raking ensures good seed-to-soil contact.
  • Sowing Time: Best sown in spring once soil temperatures are consistently warm, or early summer for same-season flowering.
  • Sowing Rate: Broadcast evenly over the prepared seedbed and lightly firm to optimise germination.
  • Establishment: Fast-establishing annuals provide early colour, with continuous flowering from June to November.
  • Management: Minimal maintenance is required during flowering. Allow plants to flower fully or deadhead selectively if repeat bloom is desired.
  • Long-Term Care: As a 100% annual mix, re-sowing is necessary for subsequent seasons. Avoid fertilisers to maintain wildflower performance.

Core species, colours and flowering period

Location overview Best suited to sunny, open locations with well-draining soils. Performs well across urban and rural landscapes where long-season colour and ecological benefit are required.
Shade tolerance Prefers full sun. Partial shade may reduce flowering density and colour intensity.
Soil type Medium-textured soils including loam, sandy loam, and other free-draining substrates.
Soil fertility Low to moderate fertility is ideal. Avoid nutrient-rich soils, which may encourage leafy growth over flowers.
Moisture Tolerates moderately dry to well-drained soils. Avoid waterlogged conditions to maintain healthy growth.
