Brownfield sites are a habitat of principle importance known as ‘Open Mosaic Habitat on Previously Developed Land’ or OMHPDL.
The seed mix is suitable for a wide range of free draining substrates often of post industrial origin. This diverse assemblage of wildflowers was developed to provide both ephemeral species to colonise bare ground and tall biennial species for sward structural diversity with perennial species and two grasses to establish permanent meadow habitat. Brownfield sites provide important habitats for priority invertebrates and reptiles.
