Flowering Lawn Mix 80/20 Meadow Wildflowers – JC9008

A low-growing 80/20 grass and wildflower mix for new sites. Suitable for regular mowing and flowering lawn creation.

Flowering Lawn Mix 80/20 Meadow Wildflowers (JC9008) is a low-growing grass and wildflower seed mixture designed for new sites, where seed is being sown onto bare or prepared soils. Combining 80% fine grasses with 20% native wildflowers, this mix establishes a durable, attractive flowering lawn that can be regularly mown throughout the growing season.

The grass component provides quick ground cover, wear tolerance, and sward stability, while the wildflowers deliver seasonal colour, pollinator value, and biodiversity enhancement without creating a tall meadow. JC9008 is ideal for housing developments, public open space, schools, commercial landscapes, parks, and BNG-aligned amenity areas, where a traditional lawn appearance is required with added ecological value.

Designed for low-input management, this mix bridges the gap between amenity turf and meadow planting, offering a practical, visually soft, and ecologically beneficial lawn solution.

  • Seedbed Preparation: Prepare a fine, firm seedbed on bare soil. Remove weeds and ensure good soil contact prior to sowing.
  • Sowing Time: Best sown in spring or early autumn when soil moisture is reliable.
  • Sowing Rate: Broadcast evenly and lightly roll or rake to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
  • Mowing: Cut regularly throughout the season. Avoid cutting too short during establishment to allow wildflowers to root.
  • Establishment: Grasses establish rapidly; wildflowers begin flowering from year one, increasing over time.
  • Long-Term Care: Avoid fertilisers and excessive irrigation to maintain floral diversity.

Location overview Best suited to newly prepared sites with bare soil, including residential developments, commercial landscapes, public open spaces, and parks. Performs well in urban and rural lawn settings requiring regular mowing.
Shade tolerance Prefers full sun to partial shade. Performs best in open, well-lit areas.
Soil type Adaptable to a wide range of amenity and landscape soils, provided drainage is reasonable.
