Product Description

Turn roofs into working landscapes

Roofs are often overlooked when it comes to managing water and supporting nature. Green roof wildflower turf changes that by turning unused space into a living, functional surface.

It creates a vegetated layer that slows rainfall, reduces runoff and contributes to more effective water management at source. At the same time, it introduces colour, texture and wildlife to built environments.

Designed for challenging conditions

Roof environments are exposed, often dry and subject to temperature extremes. This turf has been developed specifically to cope with those conditions.

The species mix includes drought-tolerant plants suited to shallow substrates and exposed settings. This helps ensure reliable establishment and long-term performance where standard turf would struggle.

Supports biodiversity in urban spaces

Green roofs can play a key role in supporting biodiversity, especially in built-up areas. This turf delivers a mix of wildflowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Over time, it creates a habitat that supports a wider ecosystem, contributing to greener, more resilient towns and cities.

A practical alternative to seeded roofs

Establishing wildflower roofs from seed can be slow and inconsistent, particularly in exposed conditions.

Pre-grown turf provides immediate coverage, reducing establishment risk and giving a more predictable result. This is especially valuable on projects where performance and visual impact are both important.

Applications

  • Domestic extensions and garden buildings
  • Garages, sheds and outbuildings
  • Commercial and public buildings

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable for all roofs?

It is suitable for flat or gently sloping roofs designed to support a green roof system. Always check structural capacity and waterproofing before installation.

How does it help with water management?

It slows rainfall and reduces runoff, helping to relieve pressure on drainage systems and contributing to sustainable drainage strategies.

Will it survive dry conditions?

Yes. It is designed with drought-tolerant species suited to exposed roof environments.

Do I need to water it long term?

Watering is essential during establishment. After this, only occasional irrigation is needed in extended dry periods.

How does it compare to sedum roofs?

Wildflower turf offers greater biodiversity and seasonal variation, while still providing resilience in roof conditions.
