Description

Organic Spring Bee Mix is a ready to plant bulb blend designed to feed pollinators from the first lift of spring right into early summer. Supplied in a practical handled bag, it contains 35 organic bulbs across five proven varieties that overlap in flowering time, so the display keeps moving rather than peaking once and disappearing.What is in the mix:Tulip bakeri Lilac Wonder brings soft lilac pink colour early in the season and suits borders, gravel gardens and pots. Blue muscari creates dense blue spikes that are rich in early nectar and ideal for naturalising in grass edges and front borders White crocus gives the earliest flowers in the mix, providing a clean bright look and valuable early forage when little else is available. Purple allium adds taller late spring colour and strong pollinator draw, carrying the mix toward early summer. Fritillaria meleagris mix adds the distinctive chequered bells that fit naturalistic planting and meadow style borders. Planted in autumn, this mix is designed to bloom in sequence from March through June, delivering a longer season of colour and a more consistent food source for bees and other beneficial insects. This mix suits wildlife borders, orchard grass margins, civic pollinator beds, woodland edge planting, and patio containers. It works best planted in groups to create a visible drift that reads clearly from a distance. For larger sites, repeat the mix in several pockets along paths and seating areas to spread pollinator activity across the space. Plant in autumn in free draining soil in sun or light shade. Water in after planting, then allow bulbs to establish over winter. Leave foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs recharge for next year. In heavier Irish soils, improve drainage with grit or plant into raised beds or containers.
