Northumberland Meadow Seed Mix
We were thrilled to find this lovely meadow mix from the upper Coquet valley, one of the most stunning and remote parts of England. It's sourced from a working farm outside Thropton, where farmer Kevin Wharf has had over 20 years experience supplying wildflower seed. It is an invaluable mix for sites experiencing harsher conditions and has a large element of Yellow Rattle. Categorised as MG5a - good for neutral soils.
There are full instructions on the back of the packet. You can expect to receive your seed within five working days of placing an order.

I bought Northumberland Seed Mix 4 years ago. I live in the same county.
It arrived promptly.
I removed the top 2 to 3 inches of turf and the seed germinated well. Since then, the meadow has evolved well.
I get my own harvest of surplus yellow rattle seed and the pet rabbit gets a year's worth of hay!

Arrived quickly, looks to be lots of variety, so will be watching it with enthusiasm
Ordered the Northumberland Wildflower Seed Mix online and it was delivered free in less than 48 hours. Sowed the seeds the next day, very clear instructions on the packet and support online. Finers crossed for the result next year!
