PRO FLORA 4

    Calcareous soils 

    Calcareous lime rich soils can often be lower in nutrient and free draining. On very thin soils, establishment can be slow and the grass growth a little thinner, this is ideal for the long term development of the flower species in the mix.

    Sowing rate: 5g/m2
