BFS 9 – Country Meadow Wildflower Seed Mix

If you’re creating an old English-style meadow, this general-purpose perennial mix will establish and reach full maturity over 2 to 3 years.

BFS 9 combines the more familiar native British wildflowers with fine, non-competitive companion grasses. The result is simple and natural rather than especially colourful, and it suits amenity areas, large gardens and environmentally sensitive landscaping. For a more colourful, quicker result, our Pure Flower Seed Mixtures or Urban Wildflower Mixtures are worth a look instead.

Sow at 5g/m². The mix is 20% wildflowers (15 species) and 80% grasses (5 species). All species listed are subject to availability at the time of purchase.
