Author Topic: Grasses with wild flower meadow (Read 1682 times)

We've just had drainage put in throughout our meadow and we've now been left with large bare patches (though grass has pushed it's way through in places). We're thinking this might be the perfect time to try and grow some wild flowers but we don't want to be left with bare ground after they've finished flowering.

Can anyone suggest some grasses that we could grow with wildflowers that won't overpower them?

Many thanks.

Something like this: https://www.cotswoldseeds.com/product/cotswold-wild-flora is 75% grasses, 25% wild flowers.

Oh, brilliant - thank you both. Did you do much prep to your land Scarlet Dragon?

I'm just about to put that mix on my front lawn

Exciting Foobar - we're just going to order from Cotwold Seeds today (we'll get annuals this year, then grasses and perennials next year) - thanks for the link Scarlet Dragon.
