Native Grass Seed Selection
Price range: £38.40 through £6,960.00 inc VAT
The Native Grass Seed Selection is a carefully chosen blend of fine-leaved, non-invasive grass species suited to UK conditions and compatible with native wildflower establishment. The mix includes Hard Fescue, Slender and Strong Creeping Red Fescue, Timothy, Chewing’s Fescue, Smooth-stalked Meadow Grass, Sheep’s Fescue, Tall Oatgrass, and Meadow Foxtail.
These grasses form the structural sward matrix of a traditional hay meadow — they are non-aggressive species that coexist with wildflowers rather than outcompeting them, provided soil fertility is kept low through annual late-summer cutting and cuttings removal. They provide year-round ground cover, improve soil stability, and create the layered habitat structure that benefits ground-nesting invertebrates and small mammals.
Use as a companion to any of the Wildahome 100% wildflower mixes to build a full grass-and-flower meadow, or as a standalone grass establishment mix for conservation and habitat projects. Suitable for most UK soil types. Sow at 3–5g per square metre alongside wildflower seed, or up to 8g per square metre as a standalone grass mix.
Sourced and selected for UK growing conditions. Non-invasive, low-maintenance, wildlife-friendly.
Frequently asked questions
What grass species are included in the Native Grass Seed Selection?
The mix includes Hard Fescue, Slender and Strong Creeping Red Fescue, Timothy, Chewing's Fescue, Smooth-stalked Meadow Grass, Sheep's Fescue, Tall Oatgrass, and Meadow Foxtail. All are fine-leaved, non-invasive, native UK species suited to wildflower meadow creation and low-maintenance habitat establishment.
How can I use the Native Grass Seed Selection with wildflower mixes?
Use it as a companion to any Wildahome 100% wildflower mix to create a full grass-and-flower sward. Mix the grasses with your chosen wildflower seed and sow together at a combined rate of 4–6g per square metre. The grasses form the structural matrix into which the wildflowers establish.
Are these grasses invasive or aggressive?
No — all species in this selection are fine-leaved, non-aggressive native grasses that coexist with wildflowers rather than outcompeting them, provided soil fertility is kept low through annual late-summer cutting and cuttings removal. They are specifically chosen to support rather than dominate a mixed wildflower sward.
Can the Native Grass Seed Selection be sown as a standalone grass mix?
Yes — it can be sown as a standalone native grass establishment mix for conservation projects, low-maintenance amenity areas, and habitat creation schemes. Sow at up to 8g per square metre into a scarified, low-nutrient seedbed in spring or early autumn.
