The Pro Basic 25 80/20 Grass & Wildflower Seed Mix is a durable, low-maintenance seed blend designed for cost-effective and ecological landscaping. With 80% low-maintenance grasses and 20% UK native wildflowers, this mix is ideal for open spaces requiring functional vegetation cover and biodiversity uplift, without intensive aftercare.
This mix contains adaptable species that tolerate a wide range of conditions, including poor soils, urban edges, and rural field boundaries. It is suitable for enhancing habitat corridors while providing visual interest throughout the growing season. Grasses anchor the soil and suppress weeds, while wildflowers like Musk Mallow and Common Sorrel introduce vibrant colours and essential pollen and nectar sources.
