Default Roadside embankment

If you do a Google search, typing in wildflower seeds, you'll get a
load of hits for suppliers, as well as suggestions. British bluebells
and ragged robin would be lovely. And if Valerian will take, it's
much loved by butterflies. Stitchwort is one of my personal
favourites, as is Queen Anne's lace. What a lovely idea, BTW - it
would be good to hear of more people doing this.


I agree, it's lovely to see wild flowers on roadside verges and
embankments.

How about ox-eye daisies, scabious, bird's foot trefoil, knapweed, white
campion, red campion (needs a bit more moisture or shadier site), blue
meadow cranesbill and yellow toadflax.
