Bee Friendly Perennial Mix

Enrich your summer borders whilst providing vital food sources to our precious pollinators with this Bee Friendly Perennial Mix! The friendly fellows will flock to your plants when they spot this beautiful nectar-rich trio of top-performing cottage garden favourites.

Bee Friendly Perennial Mix contains 6 x 9cm potted plants, two of each of the following varieties:

• Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) 'Hidcote' – with its compact habit and dark purple flower spikes, 'Hidcote' is one of the most popular varieties of English lavender. The fragrant stems are ideal for cutting or drying, and the nectar-rich flowers are particularly attractive to bees. Excellent for a low hedge or path edging, where the perfume can be appreciated as you brush past the aromatic evergreen foliage. Height: 60cm (24"). Spread: 75cm (30").
• Digitalis (Foxglove) 'Dalmation Mixed' – foxgloves are magnificent in cottage gardens and woodland borders - but thanks to their uniform branching habit, the statuesque ‘Dalmation Mixed’ make fabulous bedding too! These short-lived perennials will happily seed about to create dramatic drifts and attract wildlife to their nectar-rich flowers. Height: 50cm (20"). Spread: 40cm (16").
• Geum (Avens) 'Mrs J. Bradshaw' – well-loved and consistently popular, this compact hardy perennial bears flame-red, semi-double blooms on thin wiry stems. Geums are easy to grow and provide long-lasting summer colour at the front of borders. The flowers are also great for cutting. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
