Spring Planting For The Bees
06 Oct, 2024
September is Bee Aware Month, an important time to think about our buzzing pollinator friends. Bees play a crucial role in pollinating crops, and planting a variety of flowers that bloom throughout the year provides them with a consistent food source.
Echium
This hardy, flowering shrub produces cone-like flower spikes en masse, creating a stunning show during the spring and summer months. The beautiful blooms will attract both birds and bees to your garden, and while the purple variety is the most common, they can also be found in pink and white.
Cosmos
Nectar-filled cosmos will attract buzzing pollinators to your garden, while also filling it with vibrant colour. These stunning annuals thrive in both garden beds and containers. Cosmos are easy to grow, and ideal for both beginner and experienced gardeners
Manuka
Leptospermum, commonly known as Manuka, is popular for its vibrant blooms from winter through spring. This beautiful plant is available in a wide range of colours, such as red, pink and white, contrasting against striking foliage. Leptospermum is the primary source of nectar for Manuka honey.
Rosemary
Rosemary is a highly scented culinary herb adorned with white, pink, or purple blooms. It grows well in containers, against walls, or as a shrub and is perfect for bringing bees to your outdoor space. Rosemary is available in both upright and groundcover varieties
