Exmoor Meadow Seed Mix

Exmoor Meadow Seed Mix

This lovely meadow mix from east Devon is unusual as it's categorised as MG4 - i.e. there's no knapweed in it. It comes from a slightly acidic donor site, but will also work on neutral soils. It's a good starter mix with a nice selection of grasses.

The donor site is on the eastern edge of Exmoor, west of Monksilver.

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.
