Low Maintenance Wildflower Seed Mix - Including Grasses 

This mix of native wildflowers and grasses is designed to provide a long term habitat for overwintering insects, as well as looking attractive. It only needs cutting once a year, in the spring - so quite different to our meadow mixes. Part shade is ideal for this mix, but it will also thrive in full sun. We were thinking of road verges, golf courses and difficult corners when we put it together. Some lovely things here, not least a very high weighting of one of our favourite grasses, Crested dogstail.


20% British native wildflower seed, 80% certified grasses.

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.


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.
