Meadow
Mixture
for Pond EdgesThis
seed mixture consists of perennial (apart from Yellow Rattle which
is an annual) wild flower
seeds (20% by weight) and wild grass species (80% by weight). It
contains species suitable for the marginal boggy zone found at the
edges of ponds, ditches and streams. Most plants need to be
well established to withstand winter flooding, so seeding needs to take
place very early in autumn or better still, in spring. All of the wild
flower seeds are of British native wild origin. The grass seed is
of British native wild origin where possible (marked with W). The
seeds should be sown at the rate
of 4g per square metre. The mix will consist of
seeds from the
following:
