Sowing seed mixtures should be seen as not more than a first phase in the restoration of species-rich grasslands. In a next phase of restoration, we can reasonably rely on gradual spontaneous colonization by target species if they occur in the surroundings, even at sites which are sown with commercial seed mixtures or are restoring spontaneously. However, full restoration probably takes decades or more.
