Species Rich Wildflowermat

Suitable for:
• Creating a Multi-Coloured, Species Rich Lawn
• Dense, Year Round Grass Cover
• Most Soil Types

Species Rich Wildflowermat is a wonderful multi-coloured, hardwearing informal lawn that is incredibly easy to care for and a real asset to biodiversity.

Blended from 12 species of slow growing grasses with 23 types of colourful pollinator-friendly native perennial plants, the result is a multi-coloured carpet of very low growing plants, that are perfect for relaxing or playing on.

Species Rich Lawn only needs mowing every other week, as it won’t grow to much more than ankle height. It’s specially designed for a relaxed maintenance regime, so you can happily leave it while you are on holiday!

The specially selected grasses ensure full coverage all year round – even in winter time when the flowering plants are asleep. As for hot dry summers, Species Rich Lawn Turf will keep its colour for longer than a standard grass lawn and will recover from drought much quicker.

Where to Grow Species Rich Lawn Wildflowermat?
Species Rich Lawn is easily installed like any normal lawn turf. It needs to be laid onto prepared soil, but unlike most types of Wildflowermat varieties which require a Low Fertility soil, Species Rich Lawn Turf can tolerate slightly higher nutrient rich soils, meaning that most garden soils will be fine. You will however need to keep your new lawn watered until the roots are well established.
