Due to the number of requests for a woodland area grass mix the following mixture has been specially mixed for uses in wooded area, orchards, woodland walks, hedgerows and areas with a canopy above.
Suitable for establishing a grass sward beneath mature trees in heavy woodland landscape areas or beside large buildings. This balanced blend of species suitable for cold, damp/dry nutrient hungry soils often found in these situations, will produce a green grass cover in these often difficult conditions.
