Field Margin Wildflower Mix — CS/SFI Eligible (AB8 / IPM2)

A native wildflower and grass blend perfect for field margins, headlands, and wildlife corridors, supporting pollinators year-round.

The Field Margin Wildflower Mix is a high-diversity blend specifically formulated to enhance field edges and headlands. By combining perennial wildflowers and grasses, it provides a continuous source of nectar throughout spring, summer, and autumn, supporting bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. This mix is fully compatible with Countryside Stewardship AB8 and SFI IPM2 schemes, helping landowners and consultants create flower-rich margins that meet government biodiversity targets.

In addition to its ecological benefits, the mix offers visual appeal and helps stabilize soils along field margins. It is suitable for a range of soil types and low-maintenance once established, making it a practical option for both small and large-scale operations. Regular mowing and selective management will maintain species diversity and long-term productivity.
