A specialist long term mixture specifically designed for flood prone land.
Species and varieties have been chosen for their winter hardiness and excellent ground cover as well as deep roots that help to stabilise soil and improve water filtration.
While no grass sward can withstand very long periods under water this mixture fares better than most when faced with fast rising and falling flood waters.
Sowing in spring is recommended to allow time for the roots to establish before the first autumn floods.
