Wild Flower Economy Meadow Mixture Spring

Economy Meadow Mixture - Spring

This is a mix of 12 native wildflower species and 6 species of grass. The wildflower species in this mix grow on a wide range of soils and all flower early in the season, from April through to the end of June. The meadow should be mown off in about mid-July once the Yellow Rattle has been given the opportunity to seed. It can then be used for animal grazing, maintained at a height of 8-10cm for recreational purposes in the summer, or allowed to regrow giving a repeat flowering albeit less pronounced than in the spring.

The mixture includes 20% wild Flower and 80% Grass.

Leucanthemum Vulgare - Oxeye Daisy 8%
