| | | Bumblebee Seed Mix This seed mix of native wildflowers and grasses is recommended by The Bumblebee Conservation Trust and particularly helps the critically endangered Great Yellow Bumblebee and the Moss Carder Bee, both UKBAP species. It has a high proportion of Fabaceae - plants from the pea family - which bumblebees prefer as they have pollen with the highest protein content. These wildflowers will, of course, also benefit a range of other pollinators. This is a colourful seed mix which will do well in pretty much all other than very acidic or water-logged soils. We also offer a less diverse bumblebee mix as plug plants without the grasses.
15% British native wildflower seed, 85% British wild grasses.

We donate half of our profit on sales of this wildflower and grass seed mix to The Bumblebee Conservation Trust
We strongly recommend reading up meadows before buying seed - see our resources section, brief guide to preparation and aftercare, and illustrative projects. We also run courses on meadow creation and management and offerdesign and ecological survey services. Although our seed has high germination rates, you need to be careful about initial care and establishing an annual regime. Don't be put off though - once you get the hang of it it's pretty straightforward.
Although we mostly sell seed mixes, we do also sell Yellow Rattle as a useful regulator of grass growth and Viper's Bugloss, as the bumblebee's favourite nectar flower. If you are interested in any other individual species please ask.
