Nutrient Neutral Wildflower Mix — CS/SFI Eligible (GS4 / AB8)

A low‑input wildflower mix designed for low‑fertility grasslands, promoting biodiversity without the need for extra nutrients.

The Nutrient Neutral Wildflower Mix is specially formulated for areas where soil fertility is naturally low or where nutrient inputs are deliberately limited. It encourages species-rich grasslands and flower-rich margins by combining low-competition wildflowers and legumes with fine-leaved grasses. This mix is ideal for farmers, landowners, and consultants looking to enhance biodiversity and meet Countryside Stewardship GS4 and AB8 targets without relying on fertilisers.

In addition to boosting biodiversity, this mix supports pollinators, soil health, and ecological balance across paddocks, meadows, and buffer strips. Its hardy composition allows it to establish successfully on less fertile soils and to provide structural and visual diversity year-round. With careful management, it can maintain long-term species richness while providing forage and habitat for beneficial insects and small wildlife.

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.

  • Sow in spring or autumn when conditions are favourable
