Butterfly Seed Mix

This Butterfly Meadow Flower Mix brings together 23 species of perennial or annual plants with nectar-rich and honey-producing flowers, designed to care for butterflies and other pollinating insects. A true refuge, the flowers provide a significant source of food for a long period, and the foliage attracts numerous caterpillars that feed on them. The seeds are sown in spring, directly in place, in a well-worked and loosened soil. The meadow or bed thus created will flower for several years, from spring to late summer.

In this mix, we find, among others, plants such as dill (Anethum graveolens), corncockle (Agrostemma githago), white clover (Trifolium repens), and sainfoin (Onobrychis sativa), all species favourable to numerous butterflies and useful pollinators. All show a rather rapid growth and some easily naturalise in the garden, self-seeding spontaneously in ordinary and well-drained soil. The size of the plants ranges from 30 cm (11.8 in) to 80 cm (31.5 in) in height.

The flower meadow is very trendy, combining usefulness with pleasure. It creates a countryside-like and very flowery space throughout the summer, promotes biodiversity and requires very little maintenance: watering if the weather is very dry and mowing at 10-20 cm (3.9-7.9 in) in autumn will be sufficient. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mixes along the path, near the vegetable garden, not far from the orchard, or on a slope that borders a sunken path, close to your fruit trees, or at the back of the garden bordering the countryside.
