Make sure you sow some yellow rattle seeds with your meadow mix. It helps to prevent grass from competing too strongly.
We're about to attempt a wildflower meadow at the back of our mobile home that we use for visitors. The drought has helped with the removal of weeds so next month should be the optimum time now we've had quite a lot of rain. Our soil is fertile though so I'm sure it will be high maintenance - just like everything else in our garden
You can buy the seeds from Kings Seeds online.
