There's a flurry of activity around protecting bees and butterflies this season! Mr Fothergill’s Bee and Butterfly Seed Shaker boxes are just what you need to create a pollinator friendly flower garden!
The varieties in this mix have been selected to attract butterflies to your garden, and to provide them with the nectar they need to survive. By providing butterflies with flowers to feed on you help them whilst at the same time helping your garden flourish.
This Butterfly Friendly Flower Mix shaker contains 100g of Shake & Rake mix - enough to cover a 30m2 area. The seed mix contains specifically selected varieties of butterfly attracting flowers combined with vermiculite. Vermiculite is a natural mineral that ensures even distribution of the seeds so they are not sown too close together. It also allows you to see where you have scattered the mix and helps maintain moisture for optimal germination.
