Grass Seed
To complement our range of Loams
and Growing Media we stock an extensive range of Grass Seeds by DLF Trifolium,
the world’s largest producer of grass seed. DLF Trifolium has made significant
investment into research and development with breeding programmes carried out
worldwide.
Why
Use Grass Seed?
• Sowing grass seed is considerably cheaper than laying turf.
• As there are no heavy turves to lift and lay, effort as well as money is
saved.
• You can pick what day YOU would like to make your lawn. Unlike turf, grass
seed does not deteriorate so there is much more flexibility. It is possible to
wait even weeks until the weather is suitable.
• You can pick a mixture of grasses suitable for your conditions.
• Unlike
turf, you will know exactly which grasses you are buying.

Wildflower
Mixtures
We are delighted to offer DLF Trifolium’s Wildflower mixtures in addition to the
conventional seeds above. These provide a highly attractive contrast to amenity
grassland. Combinations of British wildflowers and complementary grasses are
specifically selected for different soil types.

ProFlora 1 (pictured above) is a particularly attractive mixture which
contains:-
Corn Chamomile, Corn Marigold, Corn Cockle
Corn Poppy , Corn Flower & White Campion
Wild
flowers and grasses provide a food source for all sorts of wildlife such as
insects and birds. Using Wild Flower Seed will encourage an array of new
creatures into an area, which will also have the positive effect of helping to
reduce garden pests.
Through
the use of Wildflower mixtures it is possible to create a very attractive meadow
area in what is often a neglected space.
Wildflower Mixtures are a superb
way to introduce colour effortlessly.
The wild
flowers used in the ProFlora range are guaranteed to be of native UK origins.
