Product Description

Bring life to shaded areas

Shaded parts of a garden are often the hardest to get right. Grass can struggle, planting can be inconsistent and these spaces are often underused.

Shade tolerant wildflower turf is designed to change that. It allows you to turn low-light areas into thriving, biodiverse spaces with a natural meadow feel.

Designed to perform where others fail

This turf has been developed to establish and thrive in areas with reduced sunlight, including under trees and alongside buildings.

The carefully selected mix of wildflowers and grasses ensures good performance in partial shade while still delivering seasonal interest and ecological value.

Supports biodiversity in every corner

Even shaded areas can play an important role in supporting wildlife.

This turf provides nectar sources for pollinators and creates habitats for insects and other small creatures, helping extend biodiversity across your entire garden rather than just sunny areas.

A natural woodland meadow feel

The planting mix creates a softer, more natural look compared to traditional lawn areas.

It works particularly well in woodland-style gardens or where you want a more relaxed transition between planting and hard landscaping. Expect seasonal variation, with changing textures and colours through the year.

Reliable establishment without the risk

Seeding shaded areas can be unpredictable, with slower germination and higher weed pressure.

Pre-grown turf provides instant coverage, a more reliable result and a quicker route to a visually complete landscape.

Applications

  • Gardens with shaded or partially shaded areas
  • Under trees and woodland-style planting schemes

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it grow in full shade?

It is designed for partial shade and low-light conditions. Very dense, permanent shade may limit growth and flowering, so some light is beneficial.

Can I use this under trees?

Yes, it is specifically designed for areas such as under trees where shade and root competition are common.

How is it different from standard wildflower turf?

It contains species selected for better performance in shaded conditions, making it more reliable in low-light areas.

Does it need mowing?

Very little. One annual cut is usually sufficient, with cuttings removed to maintain plant health.

Will it still attract pollinators?

Yes. It provides valuable nectar sources and habitat even in less sunny parts of the garden.
