Somerset Meadow Seed Mix
Flower rich seed mixture of wildflowers and grasses harvested from old hay meadows on thin soils over limestone north of Bath. As many "direct harvest" mixes, it has a high proportion of wildflowers (40%) to grasses (60%).

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.
