These include health and well-being, low maintenance, soil stability, carbon sequestration, pollution (air and water) mitigation as well as the speed and reliability of wildflowers compared with trees.The role of native perennials for our wildlife in the UK is examined, as are the regulatory requirements wildflowers help fulfil, such as National Ecosystems Assessment, Biodiversity Net Gain, Sustainable Farming Incentive, Sustainable Drainage Systems and UK Biodiversity Action Plan.
