Flowers to Grow... Perfect for Pollinators

If you want to do your bit for the planet and bring your garden to life, this collection is the answer. We have curated 10 of the most nectar-rich, pollen-heavy flowers in existence to create a 24/7 buffet for Britain's pollinators.

This isn't just about making the garden look pretty; it's about biodiversity. From the lightning-fast nectar refill rate of Borage to the night-scented blooms of Nicotiana for moths, every plant in this box has been chosen to support a specific type of insect. Whether you have a window box or a meadow, these seeds will turn your space into a buzzing sanctuary.

📦 What's in the Box? (10 Packets)

You will receive 10 full-sized packets of high-performance pollinator seeds:

  • Borage (Starflower): The ultimate bee plant. It refills its nectar cup every 2 minutes, meaning bees can visit it over and over again all day long.
  • 🦋 Verbena Bonariensis: The butterfly magnet. Tall, airy purple stems that provide a high-energy landing pad for Red Admirals and Peacocks.
  • 🌙 Nicotiana 'White Trumpets': The night shift. These long white tubes release a powerful scent at dusk to feed night-flying moths.
  • 🐱 Nepeta (Catmint): A tumbling river of blue flowers that is often covered in more bees than any other plant in the garden.
  • 📌 Scabious 'Imperial Mix': The "Pincushion Flower." Rich in nectar and perfect for butterflies to rest on while feeding.
  • 🌸 Cosmos 'Purity': Large, open, saucer-shaped white flowers that provide easy access to pollen for smaller insects and hoverflies.
  • 🎨 Achillea 'Pastel Mix': Flat-topped "landing pads" in soft vintage shades, ideal for hoverflies and solitary wasps.
  • 🎀 Clarkia 'Crown Mix': Ruffled, hollyhock-like blooms on tall stems that are highly attractive to bees and look stunning in a vase.
  • 🔥 Nasturtium 'Tom Thumb': A dual-purpose hero. It provides nectar for bees and acts as a "sacrifice crop" for Cabbage White butterflies to lay eggs on (saving your veg!).
  • 🩷 Cornflower 'Pink Ball': A pretty twist on the classic blue. This pink variety is just as rich in nectar and loved by pollinators.

🌱 Growing Guide: A Year of Nectar

This box is designed to provide food from Spring to Autumn:

1. Spring Sowing (Annuals):
Sow Borage, Cosmos, Nasturtium, Clarkia, and Cornflowers directly outdoors from March-May for flowers this summer.

2. Summer Sowing (Perennials/Biennials):
