| | | Flowering Lawn Seed Mix This seed mix will produce low maintenance wildflower grassland which can be managed as a lawn from October to March but cut less intensively during spring and summer, when successive flushes of wildflowers will bloom. Ideal for country parks, in domestic orchards and as a transition from formal garden to outlying area. "Flowery meads" were an important component of medieval gardens, and provide a fantastic colourful, low maintenance and wildlife friendly alternative to the "traditional" lawn. We also offer a similar wildflower mix without the grasses as plug plants.

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.
