Meadow Lab’s Wildflower Soil™ is a unique, soil-free product that delivers the optimal seed germination environment to allow seedlings to get a head start on grass or weed species.

It’s a more economical approach than our Wildflower Sod™, allowing landscape professionals and homeowners to create dynamic and biodiverse wildflower spaces in a range of settings with very little ground preparation. Use it in large sites where there is access to irrigation but instant plant coverage is not required, or sites where access for ground preparation is restricted or the soil type limits conventional seedbed preparation.
