The mixture is balanced so that there is some floral interest from April through to September. The inclusion of a good percentage of annuals assists in giving a first-season display when the mixture is sown in March or April.
A great habitat for invertebrates which in turn provide food for birds and mammals. If possible when cutting in late summer an area of up to one-third should be left uncut until the following spring for overwintering invertebrates. This area should be alternated each year.
