Suitable for:

• A Wide Range of Soil Types
• Maximum Colour – Minimum Maintenance

A wonderful, colourful blend of 41 different wildflower species that is irresistible to butterflies, bees,
moths and hoverflies. Floral Focus is a mix of vibrant colours and a pollinators paradise. Flowering
from spring right through to autumn, the vast majority of the plant species are perennial, meaning
that they will grow year after year, whilst the annual and bi-annual plants will pop up and surprise
you in years to come.
Unlike many of our other Wildflowermat varieties, we have developed a more advanced growing
system for our Floral Focus variety, which has been grown on a substrate base, and we’ve replaced
the grasses with a new biodegradable coir backing fabric so that the wildflower area is super easy for
you to install and extremely fast to establish.
Key Facts:
• 100% native wildflower seed mix with no grasses added.
• A vibrant colourful mix of largely perennial plants, with a small percentage of annual and bi-annual
plants.
• Stunning flower varieties in shades of yellow, white, blue, pink and purple.
• Requires cutting back once a year, with no other maintenance required
• Suitable for most ground applications, although a low fertility soil is preferred.
• Grown on a substrate, Floral Focus is suitable for use on green roofs
• Standard turf mat size is 2000mm x 500mm (1m2).
• The normal weight of Floral Focus turf is 24Kg per square metre (per roll), although this may vary
according to moisture levels. We therefore recommend having two people to install it.
• We recommend laying onto a 150mm minimum depth of low nutrient soil, please click link below
Low Fertility Topsoil
Key Benefits:
• A vibrant colourful mix of perennial, annual and bi-annual plants for sustainability and lower
maintenance.
• Not all of the flowering species are perennial. We’ve included some annual and bi-annual plants
too. These may not appear every year, but when they do, they will bring a welcome surprise.
• Long flowering period from spring through to autumn.
• Flowering Times: March – September (flowering times will be dependent on your soil type and
local weather conditions).
• Floral Focus Wildflowermat creates a hugely valuable wildlife habitat for a wide selection of small
mammals, birds, bees and pollinating insects.
• Floral Focus Wildflowermat is trimmed before despatch to minimise any damage to plants during
transit. Therefore, it will not be in flower when delivered.
• To enjoy flowers in the first flowering season, you must install Floral Focus before the end of
March, so that the plants have time to establish prior to summer flowering.
• The balance of plant species in Floral Focus, is influenced by the local microclimate, weather
conditions, plant management and pollinator populations. It’s a truly biodiverse and natural
evolving, adaptable product, which will change appearance from year to year.
• Very easy to install, the ground stabilising mat is pre-populated with living plants. Simply prepare
the ground as instructed, unroll, peg down (if on a slope), and water frequently until plants and
roots are well established.
• Floral Focus is an important source of food for caterpillars and therefore a vital part of butterfly
and moth life cycles.
• Floral Focus will produce an abundance of autumn seed heads producing a ready supply of insects
and larvae for birds.
• The mass of wildflowers will suppress annual weed seeds and helps stop weeds from germinating.
Where to Grow Floral Focus Wildflowermat?
Floral Focus Wildflowermat is suitable for a wide range of soil conditions but prefers to grow in full
sun and moist, but well drained low fertility soil. It is happy on level surfaces or slopes and prefers a
fairly neutral pH (7.0), but will tolerate all but the most acidic or alkaline soils.
Low Fertility soils help limit soil nutrients allowing wildflowers to establish and thrive with minimal
competition. The low nutrients help to prevent grasses from becoming over vigorous, whilst also
restricting the growth of other dominating plants so that they do not outcompete the wildflower
plants in Wildflowermat.
For best results, lay your Floral Focus Wildflowermat onto 150mm of our Low Fertility Soil, which has
been especially formulated for growing wildflowers. To learn more about our low fertility soil please

Wildlife Friendly!
Floral Focus is grown outdoors on a wildlife friendly plant nursery. We actively encourage birds,
insects and other creatures to share the benefits of the plants as they grow. We do not normally use
Pesticides and Weedkillers in any wildflower turf production.
That means that whilst there is no grass sown in our Floral Focus turf, from time to time, grass seeds
will be dropped by birds and we weed out any that we see. However, occasionally one or two seeds
will be missed. The good news is that the growing medium we use makes it very easy to pluck out
any unwanted weeds or plants that you might occasionally see.
How to Install & Care for your Wildflowermat.
Easy to look after, once Floral Focus Wildflowermat has established, it can be left to grow unchecked
all through the spring, summer and autumn months.
Annual maintenance couldn’t be easier. Allow the plants to grow, flower and set seed over the
spring and summer period. When plants look dry, stalky and sad, use a sharp blade to cut them
down to about 10cm high. Give the spent vegetation a good shake to let seeds fall back into the
sward and then pop it on the compost heap. Your Meadowmat will regenerate through the winter
months and start growing again in early spring. Any unwanted plants can be pulled or dug out.
