Flowering Lawn 80/20 Grass & Wildflower Seed Mix

Flowering Lawn Mix 80/20 Meadow Wildflowers is a low-growing grass and wildflower seed mixture designed for newly prepared or bare soils, combining 80% fine grasses with 20% native wildflowers. This unique formulation creates a durable, attractive, and species-rich flowering lawn that can be regularly mown without compromising visual appeal, pollinator value, or ecological function.

The grass component establishes rapid ground cover, provides wear tolerance, and maintains sward stability, while the wildflowers introduce seasonal colour, nectar and pollen resources, and biodiversity benefits. Flowering Lawn Mix is perfect for housing developments, public open spaces, schools, parks, commercial landscapes, and BNG-compliant amenity areas, offering a practical and low-maintenance alternative to traditional lawns with added ecological value.

By bridging the gap between amenity turf and meadow planting, the Flowering Lawn 80/20 mix delivers a soft, natural appearance with ecological benefits, supporting pollinators, enhancing biodiversity, and creating a visually appealing landscape that fits into modern urban and rural developments.

How to Sow & Care

Seedbed Preparation: Prepare a fine, firm seedbed free of weeds and debris. Ensure good soil contact before sowing.

Sowing: Broadcast evenly at 5g per m² and lightly roll or rake to improve soil-to-seed contact.

Mowing: Cut regularly throughout the growing season. Avoid cutting too short during establishment to allow wildflowers to root effectively.

Establishment: Grasses establish rapidly, providing immediate ground cover, while wildflowers flower from year one and increase in coverage over time.

Long-Term Care: Avoid fertilisers and excessive irrigation to maintain floral diversity and ecological function.

Growing Conditions

Location: Best suited for newly prepared sites with bare soil, including housing developments, commercial landscapes, public open spaces, and parks

Shade Tolerance: Prefers full sun to partial shade; flowering and wildflower density may reduce in shaded areas

Soil Type: Adaptable to most amenity and landscape soils, provided drainage is adequate

Soil Fertility: Low to moderate fertility is ideal; high nutrient levels favour grass dominance and reduce wildflower presence

Moisture: Performs best in moderately moist soils; tolerates short dry periods once established; avoid waterlogged conditions
