Wildflower Turf
We can't think of an easier way to convert an area of your garden into a wildflower meadow! Once you've cleared the ground you just need to roll out the turf, water it from time time then sit back and watch it grow!
The native flower seeds mixed into the turf will give you wildflowers from early spring right through to autumn which will provide a fantastic habitat for birds, butterflies and insects. Whilst you're waiting for your turf to bloom you can easily add a few plug plants to it or even plant bulbs underneath it.
And it doesn't matter how large or small an area you want to convert... our Wildflower Turf is supplied in easy to use rolls, each roll covering approximately 1.25 square metres. The actual roll size is 77cm wide by 1.63m long. So, you can order just as much as you need, whether it is a single roll or a full pallet of 80 rolls!
We use a 50:50 mix of wildflower and grass seed so that you get a high proportion of flowers. All seeds used are, of course, from native stock. The grasses used in the turf form a dense sward which acts as a weed blanket, giving the wildflower plants a head start against outside competition, and have been chosen to complement rather than overwhelm the flowers.
Because Wildflower Turf is grown on a plastic base all the root development is contained within the turf itself, creating a good mat of roots. This gives it great strength which in turn makes it easy to handle and lay. And because it hasn't been cut from topsoil it hasn't lost its roots, so it establishes itself really quickly in your garden.
Maintenance, apart from watering it during establishment, is minimal... no weeding or fertilising should be necessary, just an annual cutting in autumn.
The plants in flower will vary through the spring and summer according to the different species of flowers in the turf. The emergence of flowers and the type of plants that flower will vary from year to year according to temperature, moisture and available nutrients. This will ensure that no two years are the same (as is the case with true wild flower meadows) and gives a constantly changing landscape.
Please note that turf is ordered from our supplier on a Friday afternoon for delivery the following Wednesday.
