Pictorial Meadows Perennial Cottage Garden
SD261
Description
A tall, dramatic, colourful, and long season meadow. It was initially designed to be sown over pure brick rubble on housing demolition sites, but finds itself equally at home in garden soils. This meadow offers fantastic variety and is jam-packed full of species that work wonderfully together, providing drama and colour from early Spring, right through to late Autumn. On very low fertility soils, an annual cut and collect is not always necessary.

The King's Collection
SD139
We are delighted to feature the King’s Collection, to celebrate our friends at Pictorial Meadows winning the highly prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development.
This set includes five 6g packets of the following mixes: Classic, Cornfield, Dragonfly, Kingfisher and Patriotic. These seed mixes are designed by specialists to be vibrant, high-impact and attract wildlife.
They show waves of colour from summer right up to the first frosts and provide a rich nectar source for bees and other pollinators. The benefit of an annual meadow is that it is quick and easy to grow, and perfect for any skill level.

Annual Cornfield Mix
SD141
A cheerful flush of bright, primary colours, our ‘Cornfield Annual Mix’ offers a mass of picturesque blooms, peaking in July and August. These species were once commonly found growing amongst crops like wheat or hay, colouring the British rural landscape with splashes of blue, yellow and red. With the increase of herbicides to suppress unwanted ‘weeds’, these varieties have sharply declined. Create your own wildlife-friendly idyll and help to increase plant diversity by sprinkling this mix throughout your garden. Providing impact from the first year of sowing, this pretty collection reaches a height of up to 1m and includes Field Poppy, Cornflower, Scentless Mayweed and Corncockle.
Flowering Height up to 1m (39’’).
