Urban Pollinator Seed Mixes
These are a range of annual seed mixes using wild flowers from around the world. They are often referrred to as THROW & GROW mixes. They have been made popular by Councils. They offer a long season with a wide and dramatic range of exotic colours. They should be sown in the spring from March through to May.
They are quick to grow and can provide a long colourful flowering season over the summer. This long flowering season is very beneficial to all natural pollinators such as Bees.
We have four Throw & Grow mixes & three of the most popular species available as straights. Sow at 3 grams to the square metre. They flower throughout the summer. Species such as Cosmos. California Poppy and the French Marigold. These mixes will generally just last one season. On this page also is listed Borage and Sainfoin attractive plants much loved by bees.
