Many flower meadows are planted in the spring. However, seeding in the fall offers many advantages. Indeed, the long droughts we have been facing in spring in recent years are not conducive to the proper development of a flower meadow, especially if sowing is done late. In the fall, we know a general
moister soil.
In addition, there are several advantages to seeding in the fall. For example, during this time the soil is still sufficiently warm and there is less pressure from weeds and unwanted grasses. In addition, a lot of seeds are cold germinators. To germinate well, they just need the cold period of winter. Ultimately, seeding in the fall is seeding as it is in the
nature happens!
The droughts we have faced for several years have usually passed by autumn.
By combining with naturalizing flower bulbs, the flowering time of a perennial flower meadow can be brought forward. The bulbs can bloom as early as February and are then followed by the flowering of the herbaceous plants in the flower meadow. This is not only beautiful; it also provides nectar and pollen for bees, bumblebees and other insects, helping to increase biodiversity.
To combine a flower meadow with naturalizing flower bulbs, individual species can be planted, and custom flower bulb mixtures can be chosen. Ecoflora offers a number of exquisite mixtures for this purpose, including a mixture composed only of native naturalizing flower bulbs or statuary bulbs.
