Bee & Butterfly Friendly ‘Bright Colours’ Jute Bag (50 bulbs)

The decline in the Bee and Butterfly population is an issue of concern for most people nowadays. In general bee-keepers and scientists agree that the lack of variation in garden plants and flowers and not enough food are the most significant reasons for decreasing the numbers of bees and butterflies.

This Bee & Butterfly Friendly ‘Bright Colours’ collection is a mixture of flower bulbs where the flowers produce a lot of nectar. By planting these bee and butterfly friendly flower bulbs you create not only a flowering garden and a haven for pollinating insects, you also contribute in reversing the decline in the bee and butterfly population.

Beyond their use in attracting and supporting pollinators, this collection will also produce a stunning visual display with flowers appearing from April all the way through to October. Containing a mix of varieties such as dahlias, crocosmia and freesia, this diverse mix is perfect for sunny summer borders. As an added bonus, the bulbs come in a charming and sustainable jute bag that is ideal for an environmentally conscious gardener.
