Welsh Marches Wildflower Meadow Seed Mix

We're lucky enough to be able to offer a limited quantity of this mix for the 2025/6 season, We'd categorise it as MG5a. Among the wildflower species here you will find a good proportion (9%) of Yellow Rattle. We reckon the ratio of wildflowers to grasses is around 59:41, making it great value for money (along with our other direct harvest mixes). There's also an unusual range of meadow grass species here.

The harvester has enormous experience in seed production, and the seed is one of the cleanest harvested meadow mixes we offer. Harvested from selected sites around Shropshire. 

Smaller quantities of this lovely mix are available through our sister website.

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.
