About Akkerrandmengsel Meerjarig
Characteristics:

• Quality seed mix for field margins
• Landscape-oriented composition
• Perennial-dominant with selected annuals
• 100% native species where possible
• High floral diversity and seasonal continuity

Akkerrandmengsel Meerjarig contains predominantly perennial species complemented by a selection of annuals. Annual species provide immediate flowering and forage for beneficial insects in the first year and generally decline in subsequent seasons. The perennial component reduces maintenance and disturbance, lowering labour and input costs over time.
