Lindum’s Biodiverse Wildflower & Sedum Mat is designed to provide a biodiverse and visually pleasing green roof as an alternative to pure sedum blankets.

It consists of an attractive mixture of drought tolerant wildflowers, herbs, sedums and perennials that flower from April to September, providing an excellent habitat for bumblebees, butterflies, birds and invertebrates, whilst still offering the drought tolerant characteristics of sedums.

The Biodiverse Wildflower & Sedum Mat has been developed by Lindum, working closely with Dr Nigel Dunnett, who has extensive knowledge of green roofs, particularly wildflowers.  It has been developed to provide a habitat for conserving biodiversity in urban environments, and to be able to survive long periods without rainfall, a key feature given the UK’s changing climate.

Requiring a deeper substrate than a minimum substrate sedum roof, the Biodiverse Wildflower & Sedum Mat provides an improvement in storm water attenuation, an increasingly important attribute of green roofs, which help to reduce run-off and flooding.

Stephen Fell, Managing Director of Lindum said: “With the rising interest in green roofs, the Lindum Biodiverse Wildflower & Sedum Mat offers a different type of instant green roof vegetation solution.  Being able to move away from the monoculture of a traditional sedum roof to a thriving multi-species green roof vegetation layer grown in a sustainable way is a great step forward for encouraging biodiversity in the urban environment.”

Lindum’s Biodiverse Wildflower & Sedum Mats are supplied ready to roll out as an instant vegetation layer with the plants already established and growing in a strong felt mat made from recycled British textiles.
