Description
Butterfly & Bee Native Wildflower Seed Mix is so called because it’s designed to be attractive to pollinating insects and bees. In fact, it’s been created to support the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan. Did you know that one third of our bee species are threatened with extinction in Ireland? Your garden can provide a haven for these important members of the ecosystem, and using a 100% wildflower seed mix is one way of making it so.
All of the included wildflowers in this mixture are native species. The seed mix is suitable for use with borders, flower beds, window boxes or greenhouses. The seeds can be planted directly in the soil or started as seedlings before transplanting.
The wildflowers included in this mixture are recommended by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) as ‘Plants for Pollinators’.
