This is a conservation seed mix for coastal habitats containing 26 UK native wildflowers. This mix is suited for low fertility soils near sea cliffs or shingle beaches that are subjected to salt spray. It is represented by the NVC maritime cliff communities MC1 to MC12 and the ‘martime, cliff and slope’ habitat of principle importance. This is a low fertility sward on shallow soils and should not require intensive management. Coastal grassland can provide important foraging for Chough and provide microhabitats for rare invertebrates such as Glanville Fritillary
