More than 20 million seeds, including cornflowers, poppies and marigolds, are due to start blooming from June.
Other species have been chosen to make the display season last as long as possible.

Plants have also been chosen to attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators.Image source,The horticultural experts have had to take into account where the shadows of the tower fall when planning where to place certain seeds.
Extensive landscaping work has been done to prepare the moat, with new winding paths edged in woven willow.and follow the route through the display, which includes a sound installation. About 10,000 tonnes of soil have been shifted into place on a huge conveyor belt and deposited in the trench.The moat was designed in the 13th Century to defend the fortress and has since been used as a medieval orchard, a grazing ground for Victorian livestock, and as allotments during World War Two.
