Our Clay Soil Wildflower Grass Mix is an 80% grass, 20% wildflower blend specially formulated for heavy clay soils. Designed to establish on dense, moisture-retaining soils, this mix creates vibrant, low-maintenance meadows that attract pollinators, butterflies, birds, and other beneficial wildlife, enhancing biodiversity in your planting area.
Ideal for clay gardens, meadows, parks, and ecological restoration projects, this mix provides long-lasting seasonal blooms and supports soil health. Sowing is best achieved by mixing the seeds with dry sand, sifted topsoil, or sawdust for even distribution. Lightly rake and roll the seedbed to ensure good seed-to-soil contact for strong germination. Suitable for landscapers, councils, farmers, and gardeners seeking sustainable, wildlife-friendly planting solutions.
