Hedgerow and Light Shade Seed Mix

This lovely and diverse seed mix is a perfect base for establishing colourful hedge margins and other areas in light shade. 70% certified grasses, and 30% native British wildflowers. Unlike all the other mixes we sell, these are species which will thrive without full sun. It's a generic mix, so the wildflower element is guaranteed UK origin and provenance and the grasses are certified.

We also sell the wildflower only element of this mix - i.e. without grasses.

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 mix are shown in bold.

Disappointing

Very disappointing. Zero wildflowers. Just grass.

Dear Dan - we were sorry to read your review. Before we have a think about what might have gone wrong, can I ask if this related to the seed you bought from us this year or in 2024? Perhaps you could drop us a line on info@BritishWildflowerMeadowSeeds.co.uk . Thank you!

Great Service and Price

The seeds arrived the day following the order - superb service. Having compared prices across a number of sites British Wildflower Seeds were by far the best value. The seeds were sown today so fingers crossed we get some rain!

Super Seed Service!

Very impressed with how quick these seeds came to us. Good thing too as we wanted to sow prior to the springtime window closing. The British Wildflower Seeds we have ordered in the past and on this occasion are great quality, also beautifully and sustainably packaged. Our front law meadow that appears to mostly be in shade throughout the day has taken a while to fully develop, but hopefully with this seed we’ll get a bit more success. Advice given via e-mail was very helpful and detailed, which we were very grateful for.
