Description
Designed with landscape architects and landscape contractors in mind, Germinal's WFG21 Everyday Meadow wildflower seed mixture is specifically designed to produce a fast-establishing sward of UK-native wildflowers, selected non-native species and meadow grasses.
Unlike traditional mixtures which, by weight, contain 80% grasses and 20% wildflowers and are sown at 5-10 g/m2, WFG21 Everyday Meadow contains a 90:10 ratio of grasses and wildflowers and can be sown at 15 g/m2, thereby enabling the rapid establishment of a dense, attractive canopy.
This makes WFG21 perfect for landscaping schemes where an area has been designated as a wildflower meadow and a reliable off the shelf solution is required. It is particularly useful for late spring sowings (May-June) when a project sign-off is required in late summer or early autumn.Â
Where to use this mixture:
- Urban, semi-urban and business park environments
- Commercial landscaping projects
- To create a fast-establishing sward
