Johnsons Lawn Seed, a name synonymous with over a century of pioneering lawn seed innovation, is excited to announce the launch of its latest product, 'Nature’s Lawn with Mowable Wildflowers.' This revolutionary new lawn seed mixture will be showcased exclusively at Glee 2024.
'Nature’s Lawn with Mowable Wildflowers' represents a significant leap forward in the integration of biodiversity into traditional lawn spaces. This innovative seed mix is designed for gardeners who wish to enjoy the beauty and ecological benefits of wildflowers, without sacrificing the functionality of their lawns. By combining a selection of lawn grasses with UK native perennial wildflowers such as Birdsfoot Trefoil, Black Medick, Black Knapweed, Ladys Bedstraw, that can tolerate regular mowing and will adapt to the prevailing mowing height, Johnsons Lawn Seed offers a solution that attracts pollinators such as butterflies and bumblebees while maintaining a usable, aesthetically pleasing lawn.
This new mix includes a carefully selected blend of slow-growing grasses - Strong Creeping Red Fescue, Chewings Fescue, Hard Fescue, Smooth Stalk Meadow Grass, and Crested Dogstail - ensuring durability, drought tolerance, and shade resistance. Additionally, some of the plants included in the mixture contribute to increased nitrogen levels in the soil, further enhancing lawn health.
What’s more, wildflowers within this mixture will self-seed over time, gradually increasing their presence and creating a stunning, natural lawn that evolves with each season. To maximise the benefits of these flowers, Johnsons Lawn Seed recommends raising the cutting height and mowing infrequently in some areas. This will allow the wildflowers to thrive, adding vibrant colours and textures to the lawn.
Unlike traditional wildflower meadows, 'Nature’s Lawn with Mowable Wildflowers' is designed to remain manageable and aesthetically pleasing, without growing too tall. For those seeking a taller wildflower meadow with abundant blooms, Johnsons Lawn Seed suggests exploring their 'Country Meadow' mix.
Ahead of its official unveiling at Glee 2024, Guy Jenkins, Consumer Manager at Johnsons Lawn Seed said: “Nature’s Lawn with Mowable Wildflowers is a perfect introduction to our extensive portfolio, combining our deep expertise in lawn seed innovation with a growing demand for biodiversity and sustainable gardening practices. We are thrilled to launch this product at Glee 2024, and we believe it will redefine how gardeners view their lawns.”
