A35 mixture is for road verges and amenity areas.

A35 is an 80:20 hybrid mixture of grasses with selected herbs and wildflowers to deliver exceptional environmental performance.

Soil specific sustainable solutions

Expertly formulated for sandy and calcareous soils, A35 thrives in tough spaces where other mixtures struggle. Deeper-rooted species ensure resilience in drought-prone areas, while nitrogen producing legumes like birdsfoot trefoil and common vetch feed and support the surrounding plants.

Usage Guide

Sowing Rate

15g/m2 

Sowing Time

March-October

Sowing Instructions 

Create a fine friable seedbed down to 150mm in depth. Carry out two equal sowings at right angles to each other and diagonally to main axis. Broadcast manually or use seed drill, rake level and roll. Ensure good seed-to-soil contact. 

Cutting Height

Down to 30mm 

Minimum Cutting Regime 

Minimum 1 cut per year  

Maintenance 

A35 offers two flexible management approaches: a wildflower meadow strategy with a single late August cut, or a managed amenity regime with four annual cuts in early May, July, September, and October. 

While more frequent mowing may reduce flowering potential, the mixture still improves soil structure and enhances carbon sequestration compared to traditional grass monocultures. 

For high-traffic areas requiring intensive management, our ASustain mixture provides an ideal solution. 

Regardless of approach, always collect and remove arisings to maintain ecological balance and prevent nutrient accumulation.
