Tall Herb & Tussock

Tall Herb & Tussock

Pro Flora 14

Product number: 421WA0055UC

Species with varying heights and structures provide a habitat for a wide range of insects, small mammals, amphibians and reptiles.

Taller growing species also help visually to blend more traditional parkland/meadow mixtures with woodland and natural scrub.

Tall Herb grassland provides a vital food source late into the year to sustain invertebrates which in turn provide a food source for birds as do the seeds.

Maintenance differs from that of conventional species rich wild flower grassland.

Ideally divide the area into three parts and mow one part per year in rotation so as not to lose the essential habitat that has been created.

Leave the arisings in large piles on site; this very course hay plays an important part in habitat creation, providing egg laying and hibernation sites for reptiles.

Flower height: 5cm to 2m
Sowing rate: 5g/m2
