Bringing the Wildflowers to London Rooftops

A UK First with Our Exclusive Wildflower Roof Boxes

London’s skyline is iconic, but imagine it now, not just a sea of concrete and glass, but a vibrant tapestry of wildflowers, buzzing with wildlife. This vision is another step closer to reality, and we’re thrilled to announce a groundbreaking project that marks the first major green roof installation in the capital using our revolutionary, exclusive Wildflower Roof Boxes.

Green roofs have long been championed for their incredible benefits, transforming urban landscapes and bringing a breath of fresh air (quite literally) to our cities. Their impact, particularly in densely populated areas like London, is undeniable. From enhancing biodiversity to improving air quality and even helping to manage stormwater, these living roofs are an essential tool in creating more sustainable and liveable urban environments.

Tall buildings, often seen as challenging spaces, are in fact ideal canvases for green roof installations. They offer untapped potential to create ecological corridors, providing vital habitats for pollinators and other wildlife, even high above the bustling streets. But the benefits extend beyond biodiversity, contributing to the building’s thermal insulation, reducing the urban heat island effect, and even offering aesthetic appeal that can boost property values.

Introducing Our Exclusive Wildflower Roof Boxes

 At Sedum Supply, we’re passionate about making green infrastructure accessible and effective. Alongside our popular SMART Box roof kits, we’re incredibly proud to introduce our new Wildflower Roof Boxes. Designed with convenience and sustainability in mind, these innovative boxes are set to revolutionise roof installation projects.

What makes our Wildflower Roof Boxes so special?

 Exclusively available through Sedum Supply, our Wildflower Roof Boxes provide:

  • Easy Access & Installation: Forget complicated layering and extensive landscaping. Each box is a self-contained unit, making installation remarkably straightforward and efficient, saving both time and labour.
  • Vastly reduced saturated roof weight : Traditional blanket systems require deeper growing mediums and larger water holding capacity as standard, thus massively impacting the fully saturated weight to around 170-210kg m2. With our pre blended lightweight engineered growing medium our new wildflower roof boxes with the inclusion of the capillary matting come in around 60 – 80kg m2.
  • Minimal Effort, Maximum Impact: We’ve done the hard work for you. Each box contains all the essential layers required for a successful, long-lasting, and healthy green roof. This means optimal drainage, nutrient-rich substrate, and a carefully selected seed mix are all integrated. Placed over our quality capillary matting, it is even easier to achieve a lush roof to our consistent professional standards.
  • Year-Round Beauty & Biodiversity: While traditional sedum roofs offer fantastic greenery, our Wildflower Roof Boxes take it a step further. The carefully curated native wildflower mix not only provides vibrant year-round greenery but also bursts into a kaleidoscope of seasonal colours, attracting an array of beneficial insects and supporting local ecosystems. Imagine the joy of seeing a rainbow of colours across the skyline.

The future is green

This pioneering London project utilising our exclusive wildflower roof boxes is just the beginning. We believe that by making access to green roof product easier to access, install and maintain, we can empower more individuals and organisations to embrace this vital technology. Together, we can transform city grey into a glorious green, one rooftop at a time.
