Wet Meadow Seed Mix

This mix of grasses and wildflowers will produce a diverse and long-season display of wildflowers on wet soils, pond surrounds and river banks. It's based on the kind of vegetation you would find in traditional water meadows, now extremely rare in Britain. </b></a>>!! We also offer a less diverse selection of plug plants for wet areas without the grasses.
20% native wildflower seed and 80% British wild grasses.

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 offer design 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.
