This seed mixture consists of perennial
wild flower seeds (20% by weight) and wild grass species (80% by
weight). It contains a mixture of grasses and wild flowers that
are adapted to growing on sandy soils. Sandy soils are usually
infertile, well-drained and easy to work, but are prone to drought and
so best seeded in autumn or winter to give the plants a chance to
establish before the dry summer months. The plants tend to be deep
rooting and tolerant of drought. 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 consist of seeds
from the following:
