This seed mixture consists of perennial
wild flower seeds (20% by weight) and wild grass species (80% by weight)
that will require little or no maintenance once established. It
contains a mixture of wild flower species which are particularly robust
and tussock forming grasses. It can be particularly useful along
boundaries and in corners and will provide a habitat for insects, small
mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles. All of the wild flower
seeds are of British native 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
