Our wildflower meadow seed mix is a wild harvested premium mix.
We harvest from several sites across the Welsh Marches area.
This mix is normally sown into bare soil at a rate of 4g/m2 or 40kg/Ha (16kg/acre). This is reduced to 1g/m2 or 10kg/Ha (4kg/acre) for enhancing existing grassland. Please see How to Create a Wildflower Meadow for information on sowing and maintenance. 2011 seed should be sown by June 2012. For best results sow in autumn 2011.
Mix includes fine meadow grasses and flowers (% approx 70:30)
Species present: Meadow buttercup, Ox-eye daisy, Red clover, Common knapweed, Yellow Rattle, Birdsfoot trefoil, Ribwort plantain, Common hawkbit, Common sorrel, Eyebright, Sweet vernal grass, Crested dogstail , Common bent and several other grass and flower species. The variety and proportions of seed will depend upon the meadow of origin and cannot be specified as this is a direct-harvested product.

In the UK 98% of wildflower meadows have been lost since 1930. Sowing a new meadow or restoring existing grassland will attract more wildlife and benefit bees and butterflies. Gardeners can sow a patch in the garden and landowners working under a stewardship scheme may be sowing an entire pasture, enhancing an existing grassland or sowing arable field margins or beetle banks.
