Dual Purpose Wildflower Grass Seed Mix

The Dual Purpose Wildflower 80% Grass Mix is expertly formulated for instant visual impact and long-term meadow development. Containing 80% grass seed and 20% native wildflower species, this mix is perfect for gardens, parks, roadside verges, and community spaces.

Cornfield annuals such as Poppy, Chamomile, Cornflower, Marigold, and Corncockle provide vibrant colour in the first growing season, while slower-growing perennials like Oxeye Daisy, Ladys Bedstraw, Knapweed, and Salad Burnet establish for long-lasting meadow beauty from Year 2 onwards.

This mix thrives across a wide range of soil types and scenarios, making it ideal if soil conditions are uncertain. For shaded or waterlogged areas, consider selecting one of our specialised mixes tailored to those conditions. Proper site preparation and maintenance, including cutting back after seed dispersal and removing clippings, ensures optimal results.
