Bees & Butterflies Summer Scatter Mix

This colourful bulb mix works beautifully with both the more subtle native wildflower Landscape 34 turf and the more colourful Native Enriched Turf.

The bulbs have been selected specifically for their appeal to both bees and butterflies and is a wonderful top up within a wildflower nectar bar during the summer months.

This selection of bulbs starts to flower in May through to August and all will grow to a substantial height that sees their flowers at the same level or slightly above the main flowering layer of the turf at that time. The tall straight stems provide an interesting structural perspective against the more wispy nature of the wildflowers and provides a lovely design juxtaposition for artistic landscapes. This selection of bulbs will also work in conjunction with the Spring scatter mixes and ideally you could lay both types together for a succession of structure and colour.

Please note these bulbs are AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER.
