Default Wildflower Mix For Shady Areas

...

Hello folks,i got these seeds the other day! 'Suttons: Wildlife Garden,
A mixture for shaded and semi-shaded areas seeds'
(http://tinyurl.com/2egksle)

now the packet doesnt give too much away,it says it contains
foxglove,Columbine(what type would that be?)Oxslip and Wood Sage plus
other wild flowers... now what would they be? has anybody ever grown
these seeds? or would like to hazard a guess to what the "other" wild
flowers might be? The last time i got a mixed packet it was full of
ox-eye daisy,they got everywhere !!!id like a nice mix though and its an
economical way of doing, as i have a large area to cover,so if you have
any knowledge of these or can recommend other mixes any information
would be great,thanks guys!

I don't know, but someone who lived here before me put out either a seed mix
or a seeded mat for shady areas, and now the place is overrun with violets -
can't get rid of 'em.
