This is how our Pictorial Meadows are looking this autumn at the Eden Project. If you want to recreate your own you can buy your own Pictorial Meadow seeds in the Eden shop.

The seed mix is chosen to ensure a very long flowering period and the seed mixtures contain a greater proportion of native wildflowers with some non-native garden plants including Tickseed, Fairy Toad Flax, Field Poppy, Cornflower, Californian Poppy, Corn Marigold and Purple Tansy

They do better on fertile soil so before sowing create the cleanest seedbed possible with a fine tilth of 10 – 20 cm depth and add organic matter. The annuals self-seed from year to year without the need for repeated cultivation.
