Where is the Wetland and Pond 80/20 mix suitable to use?

It is designed for pond edges, ditches, boggy hollows, rain garden margins, stream banks, and flood meadows where ground stays wet or floods seasonally. The 80% native grass matrix provides stability on soft waterlogged ground where erosion can be a problem.

Why use an 80/20 mix rather than a 100% wildflower mix in a wetland setting?

The native grass component provides structural stability on soft or sloping wetland margins and helps bind the surface. On pond edges and stream banks, this is important for preventing erosion while the wildflower component establishes alongside.

How do I sow the Wetland and Pond 80/20 mix?

Sow at 5g per square metre into exposed, scarified soil. Keep the seedbed moist during establishment. If sowing near open water, maintain a buffer strip and avoid sowing directly into submerged ground. Spring and early autumn sowings both work. The grass establishes first; wildflowers build from year two.

What wildlife does the Wetland and Pond 80/20 mix support?

The mix supports wetland invertebrates, aquatic insects, wetland birds, and a range of pollinators associated with waterside habitats. The grass matrix provides cover for ground-nesting and grass-dependent species alongside the wildflower foraging value.

The Wetland & Pond 80/20 mix combines fine native grasses with a 20% native wildflower component, all selected for performance in wet or seasonally flooded ground. The grass matrix provides structural stability in soft, waterlogged margins where erosion can be an issue, while the wildflower content adds ecological value for wetland invertebrates and birds.

Suited to pond edges, ditches, boggy hollows, rain garden margins, and stream banks where a structured, permanent sward is the goal alongside wildflower habitat. The mix establishes well in the naturally low-nutrient conditions typical of wetland soils.

Sow at 5g per square metre into exposed, scarified soil. Keep the seedbed moist through establishment. If sowing close to open water, leave a buffer strip. Spring or early autumn sowings both work. The grass component establishes first, with wildflowers building from year two. Manage with a single late-summer cut and remove cuttings.
