This 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:
