Why Parkland Wildflower Meadow seed? We are often asked by tradesmen and estate managers if we can produce a Parkland or meadow type mixture along with some wildflower species to use over larger landscaped areas at a relatively low cost.

The simple answer is yes. So we have introduced a product containing a reduced percentage of the (expensive) native wildflower seeds and to allow a little more time for the area to become fully established.

We therefore offer bulk 20.00 kg bags of Parkland Wildflower Meadow seed containing 5% wildflower seeds (by weight) to keep the price per kg down in line with a lower budget but also with far less competitive grasses so as not to compete with emerging wildflower seedlings.

Parkland Wildflower Meadow will perform best on poorer quality soils and is an ideal economy wildflower meadow seed mixture for establishing on the periphery of new buildings, along railway embankments, on reinstated or reclaimed sites or even on difficult to maintain areas along roads, green lanes and waterways etc.

The planted area may be left as a wild and natural habitat, cut by mechanical mowers or occasionally grazed by sheep or deer.

Do not apply fertiliser as encouraging rapid grass growth may be detrimental to the wildflower plants.
