Wildflower Shade Tolerant Turf

For maximum biodiversity in moderately shaded areas of the garden. Perfect in the dappled shade of an orchard or under young trees. This variety of wildflower turf contains 41 species of native grasses and flowering plants naturally adapted to growing in hedgerows and woodland margins.

Typically flowering from early Spring until the leaves are on the trees. Wildflower shade tolerant turf offers valuable early season colour and of course pollen and nectar for early flying bees. Through the summer months, enjoy the texture and movement of the foliage and the creatures that enjoy it's shelter. Tall leaves and grasses make great breeding grounds for Meadow Brown butterflies.

Wildflower Shade Tolerant Turf will also thrive in open meadow sites making it an ideal choice for landscaping projects where the amount of light and shade varies throughout an area.
