John Chambers Classic Meadow Mix is a carefully balanced 80/20 blend of low-maintenance grasses and UK-native wildflowers, designed to establish durable, colourful meadows with minimal ongoing care. The 80% grass component creates a strong, resilient foundation, while the 20% wildflowers introduce seasonal colour, encourage biodiversity and attract a wide range of pollinators.
This Meadow Mix delivers a natural, wildlife-rich landscape that supports soil health, helps suppress weeds, and provides valuable habitats for beneficial insects. Ideal for parks, roadsides, field margins and open countryside, it offers a practical and sustainable solution for large-scale or low-input areas.
For best results, sow onto a clean weed-free site and remove or control annual weeds using mechanical cultivation or a suitable contact herbicide. Persistent perennial weeds such as docks, thistles, nettles and couch grass should be treated in advance with an appropriate total weed killer such as Roundup Pro Active. Once clear, cultivate the ground to create a fine, level seedbed. Broadcast the seed mix evenly, then roll to firm the surface. Strong soil to seed contact is essential for reliable germination.
