I remember going somewhere up country and the verges were blue with them. I wonder why it is rare down here

In principal I'd like to have my garden to contain lots of wild flowers but they breed to much

The G. pratense does, though. Floydie, would you like some seeds? Just pm your details and I'll send them to you.
