British Seed Houses launches bespoke seed mixture especially for specifiers

British Seed Houses has launched a bespoke seed mixture especially for the specifiers trying to meet the demands of today’s market.

Designed with professional landscape gardeners and architects in mind, AberSustain will offer the ultimate low maintenance and sustainable option on the market today.

Ideal for use on a range of landscaping projects from hard wearing lawns in parks to cutting edge, ecological builds across our cities, this is one of the most versatile mixtures available.

Containing 100% Aber® varieties bred at IBERS (The Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences) in Aberystwyth, where British Seed houses funds the UK’s largest grass and clover seed breeding programme, the mixture is a unique blend of UK bred varieties for UK conditions exclusive to British Seed Houses.

AberSustain contains the smallest leaved white clover, AberAce*. This compact clover leaf blends well to any amenity setting, retaining quality look and feel, whilst its high stolon density fixes nitrogen to help the sward feed itself and making it low maintenance. Its white clover root systems improve soil structure and can help to overcome problems of soil compaction.

The mixture is attractive, drought tolerant and offers benefits for bees and pollinators, suitable for a wide range of mowing regimes.

Richard Brown, British Seed Houses Amenity Manager, said: “Architects and specifiers are continually looking for a seed mixture that does not compromise on quality or on ecological impact for their high profile landscaping projects. As budgets get tighter, often the quality and sustainable benefits of a product are pushed back as budgetary constraints become front of mind.

“We, therefore, wanted to produce a seed mixture that not only offered an environmentally and economically sustainable solution but also ensured that the design integrity of the landscape project was retained.”

British Seed Houses Amenity provides a range of grass seed products and services designed to meet the specific requirements of the amenity industry.
