This shade tolerant turf is happy in both sunny and shaded areas, it is basically a luxury version of my standard wild flower meadow turf with extra species added to handle shaded conditions.

Please note for orders under 15 square metres add £2 per square metre to the price shown below. Minimum order size 6m2.

Price: £18.50 per m2 plus vat and delivery

Turf management:

At the end of every summer cut the year’s growth down to a couple of inches and clear the cuttings.

It is important to remove leaf fall off the wild flower turf at the end of the year, using a leaf blower is the easiest method.

For very dark shaded areas the best product to use would be my wild flower bulbs and rhizomes, click here to view these.

Turf weight: typical per m2 18kg or typical water saturated per m2 22kg

Approximate established height: between 30cm and 75cm – the height will be affected by your underlying soil’s fertility and the amount of shade

* I will send you my native Early Purple Orchid seed separately to sow over the surface once the turf is laid (simple instructions will be included with the seed packet).
