Description
This Pollination Mix brings together 25 species of perennial and annual plants specially selected for their ability to attract and feed pollinating insects, which helps increase fruit production in the orchard or vegetable garden. Easy to grow in ordinary soil and requiring very little maintenance, they can be sown directly in place in spring, or even in autumn in mild climates, in a sunny, well-prepared and loosened soil. Their flowering extends from spring to the end of summer, covering the entire flowering period of fruit trees and fruit vegetables. The flower bed thus created will bloom for several years and also provide a refuge for biodiversity. Some plants will self-sow wherever they please.
Attracted by the nectar, pollinating insects will forage on the flowers in this mix. They will naturally pollinate your fruit trees and vegetable plants thanks to the pollen deposited on their bodies. Better pollination will increase the potential harvest of fruits and vegetables (in quantity and quality!). In this mix, you will find plants such as Echium, Dill, Corn Marigold, and Ammi majus, etc., all species that are favourable to many useful pollinating insects. All these plants show rather rapid growth and easily naturalise in the garden, in ordinary and well-draining soil. The size of the plants ranges from 30 cm (11.8 in) to 80 cm (31.5 in) in height.
A meadow of flowers is very trendy, combining usefulness with pleasure, blooming throughout the summer season and requiring very little maintenance. Watering, if the weather is very dry, and mowing to a height of 10 cm (3.9 in) in autumn will be sufficient. Invite nature into your garden: sow our flower mixes along pathways, near the vegetable garden, or on the slope bordering a sunken path, close to your fruit trees, or in the back of the garden at the border with the countryside.

Sowing:
Sow directly in place, from March to early June, once the soil has warmed up, in well-prepared soil that has been cleared of weeds and raked. Sow thinly on the surface of the soil and lightly rake to cover the seeds. Alternatively, sow at a depth of 1.5 mm (0.1 in) in furrows spaced 30 cm (11.8 in) apart. Germination normally takes 14 to 30 days. In mild climates, it is possible to sow in autumn.
Cultivation:
When young plants appear, water well and remove weeds. In autumn, at the end of flowering, seeds can be collected and sown elsewhere. Water well to make the seeds adhere to the soil. Prune or cut to 10 cm (3.9 in) at the end of flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
