Welsh Marches Meadow Mix

These seed mixes of grasses and wildflowers are rather special as they have been direct harvested from a number of natural donor sites around Hereford - in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire, and Radnorshire. The supplier will match the mix from the most local site to you. This is an area which is home to some of the best remaining ancient meadows in the country, so these are particularly interesting mix. The meadows from which the seed is harvested include sites of special scientific interest, and because the mix is direct harvested we are unable to give %s of the constituents, which will vary from year to year and depend on the specific site harvested. It does include some of our most beautiful and delicate native grasses, including Sweet vernal grass and Crested dog's-tail. Among the wildflowers you will find in it are Meadow Buttercup, Ox-eye Daisy, Knapweed, Red Clover, Agrimony, and Yellow Rattle.

Sowing Rate: 3g per square metre, or 12kg per acre.
Seed mixtures may be ordered in 1 kg increments from 1 kg upwards; if you are interested in smaller quantities please contact us. Over 10kg subject to availability, and prices on application as this mix is only available in very limited amounts.

We donate half of our profit on sales of this seed mix of grasses and wildflowers to The Grasslands 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.
