Classic Meadow Enhanced Mix 80/20 Wildflowers – JC4128

High-diversity 80/20 grass and wildflower mix for colourful, general-purpose meadows. Ideal for parks, verges, field margins, and ecological enhancement.

Classic Meadow Enhanced Mix 80/20 Wildflowers (JC4128) is a premium grass and wildflower seed mixture designed to bring high diversity and colour to general-purpose sites. Comprising 80% fine grasses and 20% over 25 native wildflower species, this mix establishes a durable, low-maintenance sward that delivers seasonal flowering, pollinator support, and biodiversity enhancement.

The grass component provides rapid ground cover, soil stabilisation, and easy management, while the wildflowers offer extended flowering periods, ecological value, and structural diversity. JC4128 is ideal for parks, field margins, roadside verges, schools, estates, and BNG or ecological enhancement projects, where a visually attractive yet practical meadow is required.

This mix is designed for long-term resilience and low-input management, making it suitable for both new sowing and meadow enhancement.

  • Seedbed Preparation: Sow into bare soil or prepared low-input grassland. Reduce competition and lightly rake or roll to ensure seed-to-soil contact.
  • Sowing Time: Best sown in spring or autumn when soil moisture is adequate.
  • Sowing Rate: Broadcast evenly; lightly roll or tread to ensure good soil contact.
  • Establishment: Grasses establish quickly; wildflowers will flower from year one, reaching full diversity in 2–3 seasons.
  • Management: Cut once or twice annually depending on site objectives. Remove arisings to prevent nutrient build-up.
  • Long-Term Care: Avoid fertilisers and minimise disturbance to maintain species diversity and ecological function.
