I scattered several packets of mixed wildflower seed on the wildflower patch at the allotment. Mixtures like these have become popular in recent years. Sometimes they are sold as throw and sow "seed bombs". To be honest the results are likely to be fairly random at best.

 Wildflowers do indeed grow wild but many have their niche and do not prosper beyond it. For example the flora of a limestone scarp will be different to an expanse of boulder clay. Soil, aspect, rainfall all play their part. Many wild species in fact have a symbiotic relationship with human activity such as a coppiced wood or a hay meadow.

 So mixed seed will produce mixed results. Hopefully it may contain some that happen to like the conditions in a particular spot. For that reason I sow them as an experiment more in hope than expectation!
