Description
A grassland and wildflower community which reflects an old hay meadow before the advent of modern agricultural practises. Suitable for being managed by grazing in the long term. However, for the first few seasons managing by cutting might be required in order to develop the depth of sward to avoid excessive poaching. A great habitat for invertebrates, birds and mammals.
Where to use this mixture:
- Heavy clay soils
- Road verges
- Embankments
- Quarry areas
- Lowland areas
- To encourage insects and birds
An 80:20 mix of grasses and native wildflowers including Meadowsweet, Agrimony and Salad burnet.
