Cotswold Flood Plain Meadow Seed Mix

This is a perfect seed mix for creating a meadow on wet loamy soils, harvested from a site close to Malmesbury. It's one of the best examples of lowland hay meadow in Europe, and has been managed in the same way for centuries. The site is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and is also protected as a Special Area of Conservation. Our supplier has special permission from English Nature to harvest part of this Coronation Meadow in a sustainable way. The species mix is characterised as MG4. 

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.

Species making up over 4% of the seed mix are shown in bold. The mix has a huge element of Yellow Rattle - over 19% - which makes it an ideal cost effective way of establishing new meadows.
