Mix II is comparable to MG5 (neutral grassland) found in old meadows and suited to a wide range of soil types. Yellow rattle is included, which helps suppress grass growth. See growing guide 2.  Use grasses in Mix I if minimum grass growth is desired.

Mix III is comparable to CG2 (chalk grassland). Thin soils over chalk reduce grass competition and a wide range of attractive flowers can be grown. Use grasses in Mix I if minimum grass growth is desired.

Mix IV is comparable to MG4 (neutral grassland) and includes scarce species such as betony, devilsbit scabious, dropwort, ragged robin and great burnet. Flood plain meadows are now extremely rare.

Mix V is designed for the semi-shade of broad-leaved woodland. This mix is restricted to species which produce seed such as bluebells, foxglove (biennials), nettle-leaved bellflower, wood avens, red campion and a number of meadow species often found in woodland. Many woodland species only produce runners or rhizomes.

Mix VI is a robust mix and requires a single cut in autumn as the only management.  Species in this mix include those adapted to climbing into the hedge such as greater birdsfoot trefoil, hedge bedstraw, meadow vetchling and tufted vetch.

This mix will produce flowers in 8-10 weeks and is ideal where quick results are desired but note it is an annual and would need re-seeding every 1-2 years.
