Acidic Soils 80/20 Meadow Mix
Price range: £19.50 through £2,142.00 inc VAT
The Acidic Soils 80/20 mix is built for low-pH ground — heathland, moorland edge, upland grassland, and sandy lowland heath. Fine native grasses matched to acidic conditions form the sward matrix, with a 20% native wildflower component providing habitat and ecological value for specialist pollinators and invertebrates associated with heath and moorland.
The grass-and-flower structure gives this mix greater stability on exposed, wind-prone acidic sites than a 100% wildflower mix alone. It suits larger-scale heath and moorland restoration, upland farm margins, and amenity areas on naturally acidic ground.
Sow at 5g per square metre into scarified, low-nutrient acidic soil. Do not lime before sowing — the low pH is essential to species success. Autumn sowing works well. Avoid adding organic matter or topsoil. The mix establishes gradually and improves from year two as the perennial component matures.
Sourced from UK meadows and partner farms. 100% British native species throughout.
