What's actually in the bag

Composition by weight for the General Purpose Meadow mix. Grasses dominate the mass; wildflowers dominate the count, because their seed is far lighter.

Twelve months of forage

Flowering windows across the mix. Nothing is in bloom in January by design — the gap is what makes the autumn seed set possible.

Leucanthemum vulgare

The ox-eye daisy is not one flower. It is roughly three hundred.

What reads as a single bloom is a capitulum — a dense head of individual florets. The white "petals" are ray florets, each a complete flower with a fused, flattened corolla. The gold centre is a packed spiral of disc florets that open outward over about ten days, which is why a daisy stays useful to pollinators long after it first opens.

  • Ray florets19–34 per head, sterile or female, one strap-shaped corolla each
  • Disc florets250–350 per head, hermaphrodite, opening outward from the rim over ~10 days
  • SpiralFlorets pack on Fibonacci parastichies, commonly 21 and 34
  • Seed set1,300–4,000 achenes per plant per season; viable in soil ~20 years
  • IndicatorPresence signals low soil fertility — the condition a meadow needs
