Pro Flora 14 - Tall Herb & Tussock
Sowing Rate: 5g /m2
Flowering Height: 5cm to 2m
Flowering Period: April - November
Species with varying heights and structures provide a habitat for a wide range of insects, small mammals, amphibians and reptiles. Taller growing species also help visually to blend more traditional parkland/meadow mixtures with woodland and natural scrub. Tall Herb grassland provides a vital food source late into the year to sustain invertebrates which, together with the seeds, provides a food source for birds.
Maintenance of Pro Flora 14 differs from that of conventional species rich wild flower grassland. Ideally, divide the area into three parts and mow one part per year in rotation so as not to lose the essential habitat that has been created. Leave the arisings in large piles on site; this very coarse hay plays an important part in habitat creation, providing egg laying and hibernation sites for reptiles.
