Support one of the UK’s most vital pollinators with the Conservation Honeybee 100% Mix Wildflower Seed, a carefully curated blend of UK native wildflowers selected specifically to attract, nourish, and sustain honeybee populations. This specialist 100% wildflower seed mix is designed to provide an extended source of nectar and pollen from early summer through to late autumn, boosting biodiversity and helping reverse pollinator decline.
The mix includes Foxglove, Hound’s-tongue, Wild Marjoram, Meadowsweet, Purple Loosestrife, and Viper’s-bugloss – a sequence of flowering plants that ensures reliable forage during key foraging months. Each plant contributes high nectar or pollen value while delivering a colourful, naturalistic display suited to meadows, garden borders, community spaces, and restoration projects.
This seed mix is ideal for anyone wanting to plant with a purpose – supporting both biodiversity and the essential pollination services honeybees provide.
Please note: All wildflower mixes are subject to seasonal availability and may include additional native species of similar habitat and benefit.
