Shropshire Meadow Seed Mix

Shropshire Wildflower Meadow Seed Mix

This lovely floral mix is harvested from selected donor sites in Shropshire. It has a high % of wildflowers to grasses - 59:41 - and is ideal for establishing a new meadow on neutral soil. Among other wildflowers it contains 9% Yellow Rattle, which means you won't have to add it. 

This is one of the mix's features which makes it such good value. It has also been harvested and cleaned by one of the most experienced harvesters we work with. We're delighted to be able to offer it for the first time for the 2025/6 season.

We strongly recommend reading up on wildflower meadows before buying seed - see our resources section and brief guide to preparation and aftercare, which includes links to our "how to" blogs and video.

Although we test our seed and it has high germination rates, you need to be careful about initial care and establishing an annual regime. Don't be put off though - once you get the hang of it it's pretty straightforward.
