Bee Friendly Flower Seed Shaker

Our Cottage Garden Mix is blended to achieve an old-fashioned look. The Mr Fothergill’s Cottage Garden Seed Shaker is an easy-to-grow mix and contains an informal balance of flowers of various heights and colours, the tallest growing up to 90cm.

There's a hive 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 attract bees and provide them with the pollen and nectar they need to feed their offspring. By providing bees with flowers to feed on, you help both them and your garden flourish.

This Bee Friendly Flower Mix shaker contains 100g of Shake & Rake mix (10g seed and 90g vermiculite), enough to cover a 30m² area. The seed mix contains specifically selected bee-attracting flowers combined with vermiculite, a natural mineral that ensures even seed distribution, maintains moisture levels, and supports optimal germination.
