Native Bulbs

Meadow Mixture
for Woodlands

This seed mixture contains wild flower (20% by weight) and grass species (80% by weight) able to tolerate shade and is suitable for sowing in woodland areas.  They are adapted to growing amongst established trees where shading has reduced light levels to below 50% of that in the open.  In very deep shade (ie where light levels are below 25% of that in the open), grasses won’t grow, so only the wild flower component of the mix need be sown - see Woodland Wild Flower Seed Collection.  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:
