Wiltshire Meadow Seed Mix - Neutral Soils
This is a really strong all round mix for well drained neutral soils. An ecologist would call it MG5a, I think. It's harvested from a site in Wiltshire which is clay on chalk and has a high and diverse floral content. The harvester hasn't measured the %s of wildflowers, but we're happy saying at least 50%. The grasses are also particularly varied in this mix.
There are full instructions on the back of the packet. You can expect to receive your seed within five working days.
