Melliferous perennials

Perennial plants that attract bees, bumblebees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects to the garden.  These can help to counter the decline of these insects in recent years. These pollinators seek out flowers rich in nectar and pollen, while the gardener admires them for their flowers, colours, or fragrance.

Perennial plants faithfully bloom every year, with their flowering periods ranging from spring to winter, making them a valuable resource for these pollinators. The permanent presence of these plants is also essential for pollinating fruit trees and vegetables in the vegetable garden. Sow or plant perennial plants, distributing them in flower beds, borders, hedges, and the vegetable garden.

As a general rule, pollinating insects prefer single flowers in bright or pure colours, as well as scented flowers. Finally, to protect these humble yet essential creatures, it is absolutely necessary to avoid using pesticides in the garden. Eupatorium, lavenders, catmints, fennel, sedums, sages, meadowsweet... We offer a wide range of honey-producing plants, to be chosen according to your soil and climate.
