A curated blend of heirloom and cottage-garden flowers selected for Mediterranean climates and cool-season sowing. This mix is designed to be direct-sown from autumn through late winter, producing a succession of richly textured blooms from early spring into summer.
Featuring soft ivory calendulas, blue nigella and cornflowers, romantic poppies, fragrant sweet peas, and silvery cerinthe, the collection creates a naturalistic meadow effect with excellent pollinator value. The palette combines airy blues, dusky pinks, deep plum tones, and warm apricot highlights for a relaxed yet refined garden display.
Ideal for borders, cutting gardens, wildflower-style plantings, and low-water Mediterranean landscapes.
