Overview
Formulated using wild flowers which can grow to approximately thigh height. Can be sown alongside our ‘Short Flowers’ mixture to create a contrasting feature.
- Contains 18 wildflower species
- Feature species: Greater Knapweed, Field Scabious, Foxglove, Evening Primrose
Grass Accompaniment
When choosing 80:20 Grass: Wildflowers, the mixture contains a rich blend of grasses, formulated to compliment the wildflower species. The grass blend contains slow-growing species which will not compete against the slower-growing wildflowers. Some of the grasses included in the mixtures are quite rare, such as Meadow Foxtail and Sweet Vernal. Soil-type specific mixtures also contain grass species that are indicative of that particular habitat, such Wavy Hairgrass in the acid soils mixture and Wood Meadow Grass in the woodland edge mixture.
