Description
Suitable for sowing within hedgerows and semi–shaded woodland, providing floral interest from April - September. Due to light levels being lower than in open field sites growth of companion grasses will be slow, in turn making this mixture low in maintenance however, brambles may require control from time to time.Â
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, annuals, and perennial wildflowers including Garlic Mustard, Red Campion, Squared Stemmed St Johns Wort and Hedge Parsley.
