SEEDS OF HONEY BEE FLOWER MIX (ORGANIC SEEDS)

Mix of annual flowers, designed specifically to attract bees and other pollinators. Height 20 to 60 cm. Mixture obtained from Organic cultures.

Those plants attract a diversity of flower-visiting insects, including the honey bee and many species of bumble bees. Sequential sowings provide nectar and pollen from early summer to late autumn and fill the gaps when food for pollinators becomes scarce. Different insect species are favoured by different sowing-dates and plant species.

Seeding rate: 3 to 5 grams per square meter. Direct sowing from spring to autumn. Sequential sowings provide nectar and pollen from early summer to late autumn and fill the gaps when food for pollinators becomes scarce.
