Wildflower Seed for Attracting Pollinators
With increased pressure upon habitats for pollinating insects, Pro Flora 15 brings together a mix of species specifically to attract pollinators. This mix of native origin wild flowers and fine leaved non-competitive grasses will thrive on a wide range of soils with a prolonged flowering period, perfect for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. This mixture will also benefit other predators higher up the food chain.

Many grasslands and meadows are traditionally managed by grazing but mowing and removing the clippings can be used to replicate the process of hay cutting and grazing. It is important to remove clippings to avoid nutrients being returned to the soil. Soils for wildflowers are usually low in nutrients to encourage species diversity.
