Woodland & Shade Wildflower Grass Seed Mix

Our Woodland & Shade Wildflower Grass Mix is an 80% grass, 20% wildflower blend specially formulated for woodland edges, shaded gardens, and sheltered areas. Designed to thrive in partial shade and lower light conditions, this mix creates colourful, naturalistic habitats that enhance biodiversity and attract pollinators, butterflies, birds, and other wildlife.

Ideal for woodland margins, shaded parks, gardens, hedgerows, and ecological planting schemes, this mix establishes a resilient, low-maintenance meadow under trees and in sheltered locations where standard wildflower mixes may struggle. 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 for reliable germination. Suitable for landscapers, councils, farmers, and gardeners seeking wildlife-friendly planting in shaded environments.
