N8 Water’s Edge Meadow Mixture
Seed Mixture (Per kg)
A mix of 24 native wildflower species (N8F) and 9 species of grass (N8G). 3 of the grass species are produced in the UK (indicated by an N following the species name). The species in this mix will all tolerate flooding once established, and many would grow in the pond itself. Care must be taken to ensure sowings are given as much time as possible before flooding of the site occurs.
Mix is 80% Grasses to 20% Wildflowers by weight.
Sowing Rate: 5g per square metre, 20Kg per acre, 50kg per hectare
