This
seed mixture consists of perennial wild flower seeds (20% by weight) and wild grass species
(80% by weight) that will require little or no maintenance once
established. It
contains a mixture of wild flower species which are
particularly robust and tussock forming grasses. It can be
particularly useful along boundaries and in corners and will provide a
habitat for insects, small mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles.
All of the wild
flower seeds are of British native origin. The grass seed is of
British native wild origin where possible (marked with w). The
seeds should be sown at the rate of 4g per square metre. The mix
will consist of seeds from the following:
