Coastal Meadow Seed Mix

Please visit our sister site British Wildflower Meadow Seeds if you want less seed than advertised here or if your intended purchases come to under our £100 basket minimum.

Coastal Meadow 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. Salt tolerant, but requires full sun. We also sell a less diverse selection of coastal plug plants without grasses.

If you wanted a smaller quantity than the 1kg minimum you can buy it here on our sister website.

We strongly recommend reading up on wildflower meadows before buying seed - see our resources section and brief guide to preparation and aftercare, which includes links to our "how to" blogs and video. We also run courses on meadow creation and management

Although we test our seed and it 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.
