EM1 Basic General Purpose Meadow Mixture
General purpose mixtures EM1, EM2 and EM3 offer the best combination of colour, reliability and cost for general landscaping.  EM1 is the simplest and cheapest mixture in this group and is useful where the aim is to sow a bit of colour and diversity with a limited budget.  The grass specified with this mixture (EG1) is a simple mixture of low growing grasses that gives a good open "flower-friendly" sward.  This grass mixture used alone has many applications in low maintenance naturalistic landscaping.
