Clover Cover Crop Wildflower Mix — CS/SFI Eligible (SAM2 / AB8 / GS4)

A resilient clover and wildflower mix that improves soil health, supports pollinators, and enhances biodiversity across field edges and margins.

The Clover Cover Crop Wildflower Mix is carefully designed to improve soil health while supporting pollinators and wildlife. By combining resilient clovers with nectar-rich wildflowers, it promotes nitrogen fixation, prevents erosion, and enhances soil structure. This mix is particularly suitable for field edges, headlands, and under‑utilised areas, making it an ideal choice for farmers, landowners, and land managers participating in UK Countryside Stewardship (AB8 / GS4) or Sustainable Farming Incentive (SAM2) schemes.

Beyond soil benefits, this mix encourages biodiversity by attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Its flowering season extends across spring and summer, providing a consistent source of nectar and pollen while integrating seamlessly with arable rotations and grazing systems. Low-maintenance and robust, it’s a versatile option for both new and existing swards.

Please note, John Chambers can only advise on appropriate seed mixtures for selected schemes. For help with applications or scheme selection, please contact your farming advisor or agricultural consultant.
