Biodiverse Grassland

This colourful and attractive mix offers a long term ground cover solution for areas that would normally be sown with grass. It is particularly suitable for large expanses and offers a more diverse plant cover than a traditional lawn, benefiting pollinators and soil health.  This seed mix is made up of 60% flowers and 40% grasses. The flowering species are all suitable for walking on and will flower repeatedly after mowing.
