The "Dream Mix" wildflower blend is sold at ÖoB and possibly other locations. The brand "Odla" cannot be found online.

Contains:

The text on the bag does not specify the species included—only that it is a "seed mix."

However, a quick look at the seeds in the bag reveals: Flax, cornflower, oats, poppy, phacelia, borage, and seeds from garden plants I do not recognize.

In response to an email inquiry about what the bag actually contains, ÖoB wrote:

"-The supplier cannot guarantee that all flower varieties in the mix will be included in each bag, so they cannot specify the contents. It is a selected mix that fits the theme."

Comment on contents and description:

Of the contents in the bag, only cornflower and poppy are wild-growing in Sweden, and they are not meadow plants but weeds that bloom beautifully the first year in the mix.

None of the plants I can identify in the mix are meadow plants and will not survive more than a couple of years with meadow care.

There are also no low-growing grasses in the mix, which every serious meadow seed blend includes.

Perhaps the mix could become a lovely blooming flower bed providing food for some nectar-feeding insects. However, a meadow with wild Swedish plants will always attract a much wider variety of more specialized insect species than a flower bed!
