Description carrat-down

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. 

Where to use this mixture:

  • Urban, semi-urban and business park environments
  • Commercial landscaping projects
  • To create a fast-establishing sward

Maintenance
 

First cut mid-September - 1st October and colelct the arisings.

Cutting height 70 -100 mm

 

Cut from mid-August to early October. This can be done as one cut but preferable, and if the meadow is big enough, you will cut it in sections leaving a week to a fortnight between cuts. Ensure you collect the arisings. If the meadow is large enough, consider allowing up to a fifth to stand uncut through the winter and cut down and remove the clippings in March the following year, this will provide a habitat for invertebrates and some vertebrates over the winter. Rotate this area so a different section is left uncut each year. This more closely replicates the grazing of animals which would leave some small areas not grazed.

If possible, and with the obvious exception of areas you are leaving uncut, lightly mow the sward down to 70 -100 mm as required throughout the winter months until March and collect the clippings.
