Honey Bee Flower Mix

This Wildflower Honey Bee Flower Mixed seed mix brings together 19 species of annual or perennial wild plants, whose flowering, rich in nectar and pollen, takes place from May to August. This colourful selection, as beautiful as it is useful for bees, is ideal for wild gardens, apiaries, or for embellishing large areas on the outskirts of the countryside. It includes Echinaceas, Gaillardias, Cosmos, asters, and many more. Sow directly in place, in May, in well-prepared ordinary soil.

Depending on availability, this mix consists of: Cheiranthus, Cynoglossum, Aster, Cleome, Coreopsis, Cosmos, Echinacea, Eschscholzia, Gaillardia, Gaura, Papaver rhoeas, Phacelia, Tagetes, Reseda, Penstemon, Arabis, Ratibida... All these plants, annual or perennial, show rapid growth and easily naturalize through spontaneous sowing in the garden, in ordinary and well-drained soil.

The bee flower mix is a specially composed mix of various flowers that mainly attract bees and other hymenopterans. Bees play a major role in flower pollination, leading to the formation of fruits and seeds, thus increasing the yield of crops useful to humans and promoting plant genetic diversity. This mix helps combat the mass disappearance of bees on a garden or vegetable plot scale by creating a favourable environment for them. It is also a playful and natural way to bring whimsy to a vegetable garden or to fill a somewhat neglected area at the back of a large garden with poetry. These wild flowers can also be used to create beautiful bouquets.
