Bumblebee Wildflower Meadow Seed Mix

This seed mix of native wildflowers and grasses is recommended by The Bumblebee Conservation Trust . 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 in full sun. Meadows are great habitat for bumblebees as they also provide plenty of potential nest sites for them. Like all our native wildflower seed, this element has guaranteed UK provenance.The grasses are certified.

We also have a mix of wildflowers only for bumblebees and solitary bees, as well as a less diverse collection of bee friendly wildflower plug plants.

We strongly recommend reading up on wildflower meadows before buying seed - see our resources section and brief guide to preparation and aftercare, which includes links to our "how to" blogs and video.


Although we test our seed and it 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.
