'Pollination for the Nation' Seed Collection
'Pollination for the Nation' Seed Collection
Our 'Pollination for the Nation' collection is designed to provide forage for a range of hungry 6 legged friends - different bee species, butterflies and moths. This bronze and pink flowered collection looks lovely grown together in the garden or arranged together in a vase.
A bullet-proof cut flower with a strong 'cocktails-on-the-beach' vibe. Salmon pink, bright orange and soft yellow all on one stem - sounds OTT but somehow it's just right. Our selection of 'Orange Wonder' has a mix of bright colours as well as plants with more muted colouring. This joyous plant has become a firm farm favourite, brightening up our summer with flowers from June to September.
It's fantastically easy to grow and is short-lived perennial so one sowing will give you flowers for a good few years. Bumblebees love snapdragons so it's a must-grow if you'd like to attract more to your garden.
We love 'Bronze Queen' for its unusual deep bronze flowers which dangle daintily from the stem. Nicotiana are stately, long stemmed plant which look like they should be difficult to grow. But they're not. Keep the plants well picked and one sowing will keep you in flowers all summer long. Nicotiana are moth pollinated flower so are a brilliant flower to incorporate into a pollinator friendly garden.
Day Dream is an airy cosmos in the lightest shade of pink, deepening to rose pink at the centre. This cosmos has sweet, little blooms on wiry stems and is always our first to flower. It's also our first to go over so its worth sowing two or three successions if you want flowers all summer. As with all cosmos, it'll bring a tonne of bees and beneficial insects to your garden.
