This seed
mixture contains wild flower (20% by weight) and grass species (80% by
weight) able to tolerate shade and is suitable for sowing in woodland
areas. They are adapted to growing amongst established trees where
shading has reduced light levels to below 50% of that in the open.
In very deep shade (ie where light levels are below 25% of that in the
open), grasses won’t grow, so only the wild flower component of the
mix need be sown - see Woodland
Wild Flower Seed Collection. 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:
