Description
Wildflower Seed for Coastal Areas
Many of our coastal areas are under threat from the sea and the activities of humans. Pro Flora 16 provides a solution for land managers, either restoring areas near the coast or improving areas of poor quality land. Regenerating these areas can also help with erosion control and improve biodiversity, providing habitats for coastal-dwelling insects and invertebrate species. With the careful selection of location, this mix also provides an opportunity for coastal golf courses to create habitats and improve biodiversity.

Many grasslands and meadows are traditionally managed by grazing but mowing and removing the clippings can be used to replicate the process of hay cutting and grazing. It is important to remove clippings to avoid nutrients being returned to the soil. Soils for wildflowers are usually low in nutrients to encourage species diversity.
