Wildflower meadows may not be your first thought when thinking about what to plant in your garden but they do have a beauty and flexibility that makes them a worthy inclusion in your considerations. If you're looking for impact but low maintenance for instance a wildflower meadow definitely fits the bill.
The wildflower turf that we are working with is made up of over 30 native wildflowers but unlike the annual wildflower meadows that you may be already familiar with this wildflower meadow will come back year after year as long as it gets its autumn cut and clear. It will probably look different every year too depending on the weather conditions prevalent at the time. It will also change throughout the growing season as different species flower at different times. Annual wildflower meadows are hard work to maintain - this wildflower turf is not and while it may not be considered as 'pretty' as an annual wildflower meadow by some it still has a visual impact that can be stunning. Add to that the benefits of wildflower meadows to wildlife, especially our pollinators, and you have an option available to you that can add a gorgeously different dimension to your garden.
Here are just some of the species included in the wildflower turf we're working with:
