Green Roof Wildflower Seed Mix (85% Flora Seed)
This specially formulated seed mix contains a very high percentage of drought tolerant wildflower species (85%). Having only 3 species (15%) of attractive and slow growing grasses there is a very necessary reduction in maintenance and it looks pretty too!
We consider that this mixture consists of a more suitable ratio of grass to wildflowers for green roofs. The grasses are all slow growing – this again reduces the amount of maintenance required. The overall effect is a green roof that is much more picturesque and easy to look after with added benefits for insect life too!
