Description
The Kew Pollinators range of seeds from Thompson and Morgan has been specially created alongside the experts at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to attract and support a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies and beetles, as well as a number of other important pollinating insects. Helping these pollinators to thrive is hugely important for our eco-system as a whole and these seeds, in their striking packaging inspired by artwork from the Kew archives, will help to create the environment which they need to thrive, with varieties chosen to help a wide range of pollinating insects, including some night flowering plants to help moths which also play an important part in our gardens.
This vibrant blend of Wallflowers will create a rich tapestry of colour, on even the poorest of soils. Wallflowers are short lived perennials, more often grown as a biennial, and a well-loved, cottage garden favourite! Their bright flowers make lovely partners for spring bulbs at the front of beds and borders. The nectar-rich blooms are loved by pollinating insects, making this a superb choice for planting in wildlife areas too. Height: 45cm (18"). Spread: 30cm (12").
Culinary note: The tender young shoots can be cooked and eaten as a vegetable.
