Garden bumblebird seed bearing plants and wildflower seed pack

Product description

A great combination of colourful perennial and annual wildflowers and seed-bearing plants. With this combination of nectar and seeds, bees, birds and butterflies can benefit and will create a beautiful display throughout the summer months.

Growing instructions

Sow the seeds evenly over a sunny area that you have dug over, raked and weeded. This pack will cover an area of about five square metres so if your patch is smaller, decrease the sowing rate accordingly.

After sowing, lightly tread or roll the seed area to ensure the seed is in good contact with the soil, and keep it watered until the plants are established. Allow the flowers to bloom and release their seeds back into the soil. Cut them down to the ground as the plants die off, and move the cuttings onto the compost heap or into your green bin.

You can then just let the mix flower in subsequent years, although the proportion of colourful annuals in the mix is likely to decrease each year. If you wish, you can top them up by scattering seeds in spring from our Cornfield Colourburst or Best for Bees packs into any gaps where the soil is showing.
