NATIVE WILD FLOWER AND GRASS MIXTURES<br />

These mixes are blended from a range of native perennial wild<br />

flowers, together with suitable grasses to form well balanced<br />

conservation mixes for the target area. They each contain 20%<br />

British produced native wild flowers and 80% cultivated native<br />

grasses, and can be used as basic mixtures to which other<br />

suitable species of your choice may be added. A list of wild<br />

flowers contained in each mix is available on request.<br />

Broadcast seed at 3.5-4 g / m2. Careful soil preparation is<br />

required, with a low nutrient regime and sites should be<br />

weeded to minimise aggressive or dominant species<br />

SHADED AREA MIXTURE (deciduous woodland, open woodland<br />

and woodland edge)<br />

WETLAND AREA MIXTURE (saturated soils, banks of ponds,<br />

streams and ditches)<br />

CALCAREOUS SOIL MIXTURE (chalk and other limestone<br />

areas)<br />

CLAY SOIL MIXTURE (heavy clay areas)<br />

LOAM / ALLUVIAL SOIL MIXTURE (loam and alluvial areas)<br />

ANNUAL MEADOW MIXES<br />

These are blends of non native annual species carefully<br />

selected to provide an interesting and varied landscape with<br />

overlapping flowering patterns blooming from early summer<br />

to autumn. Meadow mixes can provide an economic<br />

alternative to traditional bedding, and have been developed<br />

for their low maintenance characteristics to give informal and<br />

natural displays suitable for both large and small areas.<br />
