Wildflower seed mix for bees and pollinators

This Wildflower Mix for Bees is a selection of native perennial and annual plants renowned for their nectar richness and honey-producing character. Easy to grow in ordinary soil and requiring very little maintenance, they can be sown directly in situ in spring or autumn, in a sunny spot in well-loosened and prepared soil. Some plants will flower as early as summer, after a spring sowing, then from spring onwards in subsequent years or after an autumn sowing. The meadow will also provide a refuge for biodiversity. Some plants will self-seed spontaneously wherever they please.

This selection is formed of 48 native species, including 13 annuals and 35 perennials, capable of sustainably feeding bees and other pollinating insects. It notably includes yarrow, viper's bugloss, common poppy, foxglove, mallow, campions, meadow clary, wild teasel, bird's-foot trefoil, and various umbellifers. The meadow will reach between 80 cm and 1 m in height. These plants, originating from our wild flora, are perfectly adapted to our climate, able to maintain themselves naturally year after year. Perfect for creating a corner of living, spontaneous meadow in the garden, this mix actively contributes to the safeguarding of pollinators.

The flower meadow is very fashionable: once established, it flowers for several weeks without requiring maintenance. It will only need occasional watering if the weather is truly very dry, along with a cut back to 10-20 cm from the soil in autumn, without collecting the cuttings to allow for natural reseeding. It will bring colour and life to a slightly wild area of the garden and will attract bees near fruit trees, promoting pollination and fruit production.
Invite nature into your garden: sow our mixes for flower meadows along a path border, on the bank bordering a sunken lane, or at the bottom of the garden, at the boundary with the countryside.
