Our Hedgerow Wildflower Grass Mix is an 80% grass, 20% wildflower blend specially formulated for planting along hedgerows, field margins, boundaries, and shaded or partially shaded areas. Designed to thrive in sheltered conditions, this mix creates colourful, wildlife-rich habitats that enhance biodiversity and support pollinators, birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects.
Ideal for farms, estates, councils, gardens, and ecological planting schemes, this mix establishes a resilient, low-maintenance ground cover beneath hedgerows and along field edges. Sowing is best achieved by mixing the seed with dry sand, sifted topsoil, or sawdust for even distribution. Lightly rake and roll the seedbed to ensure good seed-to-soil contact and reliable germination. A practical solution for BNG, conservation, and wildlife corridor creation.
