Annual & Biennial Species & Varieties
EUROFLOR DrySec 1kg Seeds Mixture for Urban Meadows - Urban Meadows Seed Mixes. It is the most drought tolerant mixture, which has been successfully tested for drought resistance in the United Arab Emirates and more specifically in Dubai. But apart from its resistance to drought, it also shows excellent adaptation to poor quality soils, such as those found on roadside embankments and barren industrial lands. Typical plants that participate in the DrySec mixture are the species Layia platygossa, which is native to southern California, and Dimorphotheca sinuata, which grows in the sandy deserts of Namibia. The DrySec mixture consists of 90% annual herbaceous flowering plants and 10% biennials.
► For seeding, pre-treatment similar to that of turf installation is required, while irrigation is required at least during the first stages of plant's establishment
► The mixture includes the following species and varieties: Calendula officinalis 'Pacific Beauty', Centaurea cyanus, Cosmos ‘Trianon’, Cosmos sulphureus, Dimorphotheca sinuata ‘Silent Spring’, Echium vulgare, Eschscholtzia californica, Gaillardia aristata, Gyposophila elegans ‘Roi des Halles’, Layia platyglossa, Linum grandiflora, Linum grandiflora ‘Charmer Mix’, Saponaria officinalis, Zinnia ‘Lilliput’, Zinnia ‘Sunbow’
► If no seeding takes place in subsequent years, the abandoned urban meadow will have about 30% of its flowering plants in the second year and 10-15% in the third year

| Euroflor Urban Meadow mixes contain both garden flower varieties and wild flower species. | For habitat management, Euroflor helps keep bumblebees, bees, butterflies, beetles, ladybirds and other insects in the environment by providing a regular and constant source of nectar. | |
Contribution to Wildlife

No Genetically Modified Seeds
|
|
| In addition to pollinators, a variety of insects, small herbivores and birds will benefit from the food source and shelter provided by the foliage and cover of the flowers. So they will take advantage of the coolness of the leaves of plants that provide moisture, enjoy the shade from the sun and consume the food from the small fruits and seeds produced in the urban meadow. | Euroflor seeds are produced using traditional plant breeding methods. NO GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS (GMOs) are carried out. The (Non GMO - Non GMO) seed is produced by numerous, small-scale growers from different geographical locations with different soil types and climatic conditions, thus ensuring genetic diversity. |
