Description
Creates a meadow for most urban and suburban situations, combining the UK native wildflowers and selected non-native species found in WF1 with 80% grasses to produce a grassland meadow mixture, suitable for all soil types.
The mixture is balanced to maximise the floral interest from as early as April through to September. The inclusion of a good percentage of annuals assists in giving a first season display when the mixture is sown in March or April.
A great habitat for invertebrates which in turn provide food for birds and mammals. If possible, when cutting in late summer an area of up to one third should be left uncut until the following spring for overwintering invertebrates. This area should be alternated each year.
An 80:20 mix of grasses, annual and perennial flowers including Oxeye Daisy, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Corn poppy, Oxeye Sunflower and Echinacea.
