Our Residents Association is looking to plant a load of flowers on a
roadside embankment (approx 100mtrs long) to brighten it up a bit.

The embankment soil isn't fantastic and it faces eastwards.

We have already planted some daffodils and primrose which are
naturalising nicely.

Can you recommend any other naturalising flowers which will help us
cover the embankment with a sea of colour during the growing season?
And also any bulk seed/bulb suppliers.

Can I add a cautionary note.
Who 'owns' the embankment?
If it is the council, have they been approached for approval to do
this?

There are some councils with a conservation policy who might object or
may wish to dictate what can and cannot be done. They may condone a
'wild flower' scheme but object to daffs and tulips for example.
