Every species is certified Australian seed, selected and blended by agronomists to deliver real biological and structural benefits to your soil. Designed to support regenerative growing systems by boosting soil biology, improving nutrient cycling, and reducing fertiliser demand over time, making it a sustainable alternative to conventional inputs.
Improves Soil Structure & Long Term Fertility
Deep rooted species like chicory, radish, and vetch break up compacted layers, lift nutrients from depth, and increase organic matter, strengthening the soil’s resilience and natural fertility over time. English Meadows is designed to thrive with minimal inputs, this blend grows into a soft, meadow style planting that suppresses weeds, stabilises soil, and maintains ground cover without frequent mowing or heavy fertiliser use.
Boosts Biodiversity and Ecological Health
Includes nectar rich flowers and deep rooted species that support pollinators, enrich soil biology, and encourage a healthier, more resilient ecosystem. Featuring early, mid, and late flowering species, English Meadows provides a continuous food source for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects throughout the growing season, boosting pollination in surrounding gardens and orchards.
Because your garden
deserves better
Feed your Soil & Pollinators
The English Meadows Blend recreates the ecology and softness of traditional English meadows while delivering real benefits to your soil and pollinators. This diverse mix of grasses, legumes, herbs, and flowering plants provides season long nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Deep rooted species help improve soil structure, boost organic matter, and support long term soil health, while nitrogen fixing legumes naturally lift fertility. Perfect for gardens, orchard floors, lifestyle properties, and grazing areas, this blend brings colour, biodiversity, and resilience to any landscape, enhancing both beauty and ecological function.
How to Grow:
Sow 10mm below the surface by scratching up the soil, using 25 to 40g per square metre. The optimal time to sow is in Autumn, or late spring. Warm temperatures and a wet soil bed will help this blend establish best.
Whilst this blend is designed to persist, we encourage you to water during dry spells and sow around the break of the season (Autumn).
Fertilise when sowing with high nitrogen and phosphorus based fertiliser. This will assist in early leaf development and root growth. Approximately 100g per square metre.
How to Mulch English Meadows if the Planting Looks Fatigued
If your English Meadows blend begins to look tired after a long flowering period, you can rejuvenate the bed by mulching the foliage back into the soil. This returns valuable organic matter and prepares the area for the next cycle of growth.
1. Cut the plants back to 10–15 cm above the soil
Use secateurs, shears, or a whipper snipper. Cutting rather than pulling preserves root channels and soil structure.
2. Leave the cut material on the surface as mulch
Spread it evenly. This helps protect the soil, retain moisture, and feed microbes as it breaks down.
3. Water the mulch layer thoroughly
Moisture speeds decomposition and activates soil biology. Aim for a slow, deep soak.
4. Allow 2–3 weeks for breakdown
During this time the material will soften, settle, and begin feeding the soil. You’ll often see earthworms pulling it below the surface.
5. Option to resow or leave to regrow
-Resow if you want a fresh, dense flowering display.
- Let it regrow if some perennial species remain active (e.g., clovers, chicory, cocksfoot).
6. For faster recovery, top-dress lightly with compost before resowing
A thin layer (5–10 mm) boosts biological activity and supports germination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this blend reduce the need for fertiliser?
Yes. By fixing nitrogen, recycling nutrients, and increasing organic matter, this sowing seeds mix lifts the natural fertility of your soil. Reducing dependence on external synthetic inputs over time.
Is this blend better for the environment than traditional fertilisers?
Yes. This blend supports regenerative farming principles by building soil, protecting biodiversity, reducing fertiliser demand, and improving nutrient cycling, all whilst using Australian certified seed.
Why are some of the seeds brightly coloured?
Some seeds in this blend may appear brightly coloured because they have been coated or “prilled”. This coating can include beneficial materials such as trace elements, lime, or germination aids that help the seed establish more reliably in a range of soil conditions. In some cases, certain agricultural seed lines may also be treated with protectants such as fungicides or, less commonly, an insecticide treatment like Gaucho (Imidacloprid). These treatments are applied at extremely low rates and are designed to protect the seed during the vulnerable germination phase. By safeguarding early establishment, they reduce the need for additional chemical inputs later on, such as insecticides or fertilisers. These coatings do not affect the performance of the blend, the meadow effect, or pollinator benefits once the plants are established. They simply help ensure strong early growth and a more reliable, successful sowing.
. What species are included and what do they contribute?
This blend includes a balanced mix of grasses, legumes, and flowering plants: Grasses (Cocksfoot, Timothy, Bent Grass, Red Fescue): Provide structure, year-round groundcover, and pasture resilience. Flowering species (Phacelia, Buckwheat): High nectar flowers for pollinators and seasonal colour. Legumes (Crimson Clover, Balansa Clover, Red Clover, Vetch): Fix nitrogen naturally, improving soil fertility. Herbs & Broadleaves (Chicory, Tillage Radish): Deep roots improve soil structure and moisture retention. Together, they create the layered, meadow like effect typical of English pastures.
Where can I sow this blend?
Garden beds Small paddocks and lifestyle blocks Orchard floors and understorey areas Nature strips (where permitted) Areas needing biodiversity improvement Hobby farm grazing zones Empty or underused parts of the property
What will English Meadows look like when it grows?
Expect a soft, natural, wildflower style meadow with shifting colours and textures throughout the season. Because it contains many species, different plants emerge and flower at different times, this variability is intentional and creates the classic meadow effect. It won’t grow uniformly like a lawn, but instead forms a lively, informal landscape full of seasonal movement and interest.
