Special General Purpose Wildflower Meadow Seed

About This Wildflower Meadow Seed Mix

This mix is brush harvested from a range of meadows across the UK. It has a high and diverse wildflower element, as well as a good range of native wild grasses. It will give a result approximating to MG5.

This mix is very floral, and includes a good dose of Yellow Rattle (Rhinanthus minor). It's freshly harvested and immaculately cleaned by one of the leading wildflower seed harvesters in the country.

We strongly recommend reading up on wildflower meadows before buying seed - see our resources section, 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.
