Low-Growing Native Wildflower Turf is a ready-grown wildflower turf designed to create a shorter, more managed wildflower lawn with natural seasonal colour. Containing a species-rich mix of wildflowers and fine grasses, it offers an attractive alternative to traditional lawn turf while supporting biodiversity and habitat creation.
Suitable for gardens, pathways, verges, landscaped areas and public spaces, this low growing wildflower turf can be mown regularly once established to maintain a neat, flowering lawn-style finish. It is ideal for projects where a lower-maintenance, wildlife-friendly wildflower area is needed without the height of a traditional meadow.

Please check your delivery access before ordering
Turf is delivered on a pallet to the nearest safe and accessible kerbside location.
Most deliveries are made using a large articulated lorry. The pallet is unloaded
using a manual pump truck, which can only travel over hard, flat and level ground.
It cannot be moved over gravel, grass, uneven surfaces, slopes or steps, and the
driver cannot take it into gardens, garages or buildings.
Please contact us before placing your order if:
- Access to your address is narrow or restricted.
- A smaller delivery vehicle may be needed.
- The unloading point is not flat and hard-standing.
- You are unsure whether delivery will be possible.
Deliveries usually take place Tuesday to Thursday, between 8:00am and 5:00pm.
We recommend arranging delivery the day before you intend to install the turf.
For advice, please call 0800 085 4399 or email shop@meadowmania.co.uk.
