Our Sandy Soil Wildflower Grass Mix is a premium 80% grass, 20% wildflower blend specially formulated for sandy and well-draining soils. This mix combines hardy, native wildflowers with low-maintenance grasses to create colourful, wildlife-friendly meadows that enhance biodiversity and support pollinators, butterflies, and birds.
Ideal for sandy gardens, meadows, dunes, parks, and ecological restoration projects, this mix delivers a long-lasting, vibrant habitat. Sowing is best achieved by mixing seeds with dry sand, sifted topsoil, or sawdust for even distribution. Lightly rake and roll the seedbed to ensure good seed-to-soil contact, promoting strong germination and healthy growth.
