We have two sources for grass and grass / wildflower seed mixtures, one in England and the other in Scotland, who have been producing seed and blending mixtures for a number of years and know the provenance of the seed. Even so the mixtures they produce are not 100% native seed; some of the grass species and imported mainly from Holland and New Zealand but they are originally from seed obtained in the U.K. It is possible to get 100% native seed mixes, but they are more expensive.

Both suppliers produce a range of mixtures which are suitable for different soil types.
The grass / wildflower mixes comprise 80% grass and 20% native wildflower species.
English Mixtures

Acid Mixture - Suitable for sandy soils, it contains many deep rooted species which are able to survive droughts and free draining soils.
Clay Mixture - neutral. Species in this mixture thrive in heavy soils.
Chalk Mixture - alkaline. This mixture is suitable for low fertility soils and particularly soils in which pieces of chalk or limestone are clearly visible.
