Wildflower and Grass Mixtures
20% Wild Flower and 80% Grass Mixtures
Wild flowers and the grassland they inhabit are a vital part of our landscape. The plant and animal species sustained by a meadow are staggering, but with modern larger farm units and heavily farmed land, nearly all the ancient flowering meadows have been lost. Taking approximately twenty of the most successful perennial grassland flowers from each category, suitable grasses have been added to provide a range of well balanced mixtures to create flowering grassland areas, which will require little or no maintenance.

AWF No 1 – Shaded Areas
A carefully selected mixture suitable for shade and woodland

AWF No 2 – Wetland Soils
Suitable for damp, moist and wet soils on saturated banks, streams, rivers and ditches.

AWF No 3 – Lime/ Calcareous Soils
On soils overlying limestone or chalk, particular types of flowers can be found, and these are contained in this carefully selected blend of species.

AWF No 4 – Clay Soils
This mixture should be sown on all clay soils and uses species typically found on this soil type.

AWF No 5 – Acid Soils
The flowers selected in this mixture naturally occur on soils characterised by a low pH, which allows you to produce a flowery sward on a range of acid soils.

AWF No 6 – Loam/ Alluvial Soils
This mixture is suitable for establishing flowery grassland on all loam/ alluvial type soils and can produce a rich diverse sward. A ‘general purpose’ type mixture.

AWF No 7– Hedgerows
Suitable for field and woodland margins.

AWF No 8 – Sandy Soils
On free-draining sandy soils we advise the use of this mixture to recreate a meadow typical for this soil.

Cornfield
