To
commemorate the centenary of the end of World War I, Rigby Taylor has
introduced a range of Euroflor Commemorate wildflower mixes.
Each of
the six new mixes having special meaning:
- Honour - a combination of red,
white and blue flowers; the three colours of the Union Jack symbolising
patriotism;
- Souvenir - 100% Red
Poppies - the Poppy in Great Britain, Commonwealth countries and the
USA symbolises the blood spilled by the allied forces;
- Bleuet – predominantly blue but
also with white, pink and crimson Cornflowers; Cornflowers originally
represented young French soldiers arriving on the battlefield and wearing
new, grey/blue uniforms thereafter symbolising those who died for France;
- Alliance - a mixture of Red
Poppies and Cornflowers; the combination mix of the red and blue
symbolises the alliance of British and French soldiers;
- Peace - a white flower mix
including Gypsophilia elegans, to symbolise the armistice and ending of
hostilities; and
- [Hope – a mix of bright
colours, including perennial species for longevity to symbolise hope.
The mixes

combination) or as individual 1 kg sachets. Each 50 gm sachet will cover 10-15
m2; I kg will cover 150-350 m2.
