Wildflower seed mix for Bees & Butterflies (no grasses) - 20 grams (10m²)

A mix of easy to grow native annual and perennial wildflower seeds, without grasses, selected to create a low maintenance wildlife haven in your garden.

This mix consists of varieties selected to be attractive to butterflies, bees and birds. The annuals will grow quickly, flowering within 2-3 months to give quick colour. With a little maintenance in the Autumn, they will self-seed in following years.

The perennials are slower growing, some will flower in the first year from a Spring sowing, other will be at their best in the second and subsequent years.

Best sown direct into cultivated garden soil, in an open sunny position.

Note: This 20 gram pack will cover an area of approx 10 square metres. It is also available in a smaller 4 gram (2m²) pack (see our other listings).

Native wildflowers

Peak flowering : Early Summer to Autumn

Easy to sow & grow

Smaller 4g pack also available

The following varieties are included:

Annuals:

Cornflower: A quick and easy annual with blue flowers, quite tall at about 90cm (3ft)

Corn Cockle: The single purple-pink flowers are a good food source for butterflies and moths.

Corn Marigold: Bright yellow flowers and attractive foliage.

Corn Chamomile: A white daisy flower. All the daisies seem to be popular with bees.

Common Poppy: The Flander's or Field Poppy, with familiar red flowers.

Perennials:

Knapweed: Purple thistle-like flowers (but without the prickles). Attractive to bees when in flower, in the Winter goldfinch and other birds will feast on the seedheads.

Ox-Eye daisy: Another white daisy, prolific flowers in midsummer which the bees love.

Red Campion: Attractive pink flowers, with a long trumpet which usually indicates it is pollinated by butterflies and moths, as their mouthparts are long enough to reach the nectar. However bees have learnt to get to the nectar by nibbling a hole in the side of the trumpet.

Viper's Bugloss: A biennial, but it will flower in the first year if sown early. As well as having very ornamental blue flowers, this plant is probably the best bee plant you can grow. It will self seed from year to year if happy.

Sowing Instructions:

Sow in Spring or Autumn direct into well prepared garden soil, at a rate of approximately 2 grams per square metre.

A free guide to sowing and maintenance will be supplied with each order.

All our wildflower seeds are from cultivated English sources.
