Dual Purpose Mix 100% Wildflowers – JC3199

A versatile 100% wildflower mix combining annuals and perennials for first-year colour and long-term meadow establishment. Ideal for parks, verges, and BNG projects.

Dual Purpose Mix 100% Wildflowers (JC3199) is a versatile wildflower mixture combining perennial species with selected annuals, designed to deliver immediate first-year colour while establishing a long-lasting, species-rich perennial meadow. This mix thrives in most soil types and conditions, providing visual interest, ecological value, and pollinator support.

Ideal for parks, roadside verges, field margins, BNG schemes, estates, schools, and low-input grasslands, this mix supports pollinators, farmland birds, invertebrates, and small mammals. The combination of perennials and annuals ensures a continuous display of flowers from the first year, while perennials establish long-term structure and biodiversity.

  • Seedbed Preparation: Prepare a fine, firm seedbed by removing weeds and reducing compaction.
  • Sowing Time: Best sown in spring or autumn when soil moisture is reliable.
  • Sowing Rate: Broadcast evenly and lightly roll or rake to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
  • Establishment: Annuals flower in year one; perennials establish fully over 2–3 seasons.
  • Management: Cut once or twice annually depending on objectives. Remove arisings to avoid nutrient enrichment.
  • Long-Term Care: Avoid fertilisers and minimise disturbance to maintain species diversity and sward structure.
