A mix for those with clay soils. Clay soils are great for farming, not quite so for gardening and as wildflowers can be tricky to establish at the best times, having species suited to your soil gives them the best chance.

The tell tale signs of clay soils are little moisture, whilst lumpy and containing stones and flint. To test, place soil in a jar of vinegar. If it froths, you got clay soil.

How to Plant

Cheap and Easy Method:

For a quick and cost-effective approach, simply scatter the seeds directly onto bare soil. This method requires minimal preparation but has a lower success rate as it heavily relies on natural conditions being favourable. Clear the area of any debris and lightly rake the soil to create a loose surface. Evenly broadcast the seeds across the soil, then lightly rake again to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

More Involved Method:

For better results, especially in areas with aggressive weeds or where the soil may be particularly challenging, consider using a terram membrane. This method involves laying a terram membrane over the planting area to suppress unwanted vegetation. Over this membrane, add a layer of soil that is suitable for clay conditions. Sow the seeds evenly across the soil surface and gently press them in to ensure good contact. This method, while more expensive and labour-intensive, greatly enhances the likelihood of establishing a vibrant and sustainable meadow.

Why Choose a 100% Flower Mix:

A 100% wild flower mix differs significantly from an 80/20 wild flower grass mix. In a 100% flower mix, all the seeds are from wild flowers, resulting in a meadow densely packed with colourful and diverse flowering plants. This is ideal for creating a visually stunning display and providing a rich habitat for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. In contrast, an 80/20 mix includes 80% wild flowers and 20% grasses. This blend is beneficial for establishing a more balanced ecosystem, as the grasses provide structural support and habitat for various insects and wildlife, and help to stabilize the soil. However, for pure floral beauty and higher pollinator support, a 100% flower mix is preferred.

When to Plant

The optimal time to plant your Clay Soil 100% Wildflower Mix is in the spring (March to May) or early autumn (September to early October). These periods offer the best temperatures and adequate moisture levels for seed germination and root establishment.

Where to Plant

This mix is specifically designed to thrive in clay soils, which are typically heavy and retain moisture well. Choose a location that benefits from these soil properties, ensuring good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Areas with full sunlight to partial shade are ideal.

Watering Schedule

Clay soils naturally retain more water than sandy soils, so watering needs may be reduced. During the initial establishment phase, ensure the soil remains moist but not saturated. Water gently to avoid washing away the seeds. Once established, the plants will generally require minimal watering, relying primarily on natural rainfall. However, during prolonged dry periods, occasional watering may be necessary to maintain healthy growth.

Blooming Period

The wildflowers in your Clay Soil 100% Wild Flower Seed Mix will generally bloom from late spring through to late summer, approximately May to August. This blooming period can extend slightly, depending on local climate conditions and the specific timing of your planting.

Expected Plant Height

The plants in this mix will vary in height, generally ranging from 20 cm to 1 metre. This variation creates a textured, dynamic appearance that provides depth and interest, while also supporting a diverse range of wildlife and pollinators.

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!
