Coastal Seed Mix

Not one of our cheaper native wildflower and grass mixes, but you can see why. A stunning variety of perennials for coastal or exposed sites. We also sell a less diverse selection of coastal plug plants without grasses.

20% wildflowers, origin Fife, Islay, Kincardineshire, and Inverness-shire.

We donate half of our profit on sales of this wildflower and grass seed mix to The Bumblebee Conservation Trust

We strongly recommend reading up meadows before buying seed - see our resources section, brief guide to preparation and aftercare, and illustrative projects. We also run courses on meadow creation and management and offerdesign and ecological survey services. Although our seed has high germination rates, you need to be careful about initial care and establishing an annual regime. Don't be put off though - once you get the hang of it it's pretty straightforward.
Although we mostly sell mixes, we do also sell Yellow Rattle as a useful regulator of grass growth and Viper's Bugloss, as the bumblebee's favourite nectar flower. If you are interested in any other individual species please ask.
