Our Coastal Wildflower 80% Grass Mix is a robust blend of native British wildflowers and low-maintenance grass, specially formulated to thrive in salty, exposed coastal conditions or hard landscapes. This mix provides a vibrant, colourful meadow that enhances biodiversity, supporting wildlife including pollinators, butterflies, and birds.
Ideal for seaside gardens, coastal parks, nature reserves, and restoration projects, the mix establishes quickly in challenging soils while delivering long-lasting seasonal interest. For best results, mix the seed with dry sand, sifted topsoil, or sawdust, sow evenly, and lightly rake and roll the seedbed to ensure firm seed-to-soil contact.
