Wildflower - SuDS Turf

A mixture of wildflowers, herbs and flowering perennials, specifically designed for Sustainable urban Drainage Systems.


Our Wildflower SuDS turf is the perfect solution for enhancing biodiversity in wildflower turf areas, ideal for slopes, banks, damp soils, and the margins of ponds, streams, or Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS). It is crafted with a plastic-free biodegradable mat, enabling quick "planting" and the establishment of a diverse array of plant species. This innovative turf begins its beneficial impact as soon as it is laid on the ground, with ongoing improvements over time. The initial planting layer effectively minimises erosion caused by rainfall, while the roots of the plants enhance soil stability as they grow and develop. Simultaneously, the vegetation attracts and sustains a diverse range of wildlife.

This product provides a significant boost to wildlife, attracting insects, amphibians, small mammals, and birds with a rich source of food and shelter. Additionally, our Wildflower SuDS turf creates a thriving wildlife habitat without the need for chemical treatments, artificial fertilisers, or frequent cutting. It is important to note that this product thrives in low fertility soil conditions.
