About Bee Friendly Wildflower Plug Plant Collection

Bee friendly wildflower plug plant collection

Phoenix Native Flora supplies bee friendly wildflower plants, a collection of UK native wildflowers chosen to feed bees from spring through to autumn. Bees rely on flowers for nectar and pollen, so this mix brings together a long, overlapping run of blooms in a single, easy planting. Supplied as strong, established plug plants, it is a simple way to create a buzzing pollinator patch in a garden, meadow, orchard or community space. For guidance on planting that supports pollinators, see the RHS Plants for Pollinators advice.

Why choose these bee friendly wildflower plants

Chosen for bees: native species picked for their nectar and pollen value.
A long season of food: overlapping flowering from spring through to autumn.
Established plug plants: they settle in faster and more reliably than sown seed.
Every plant labelled: each species is clearly named when it arrives.
Wonderfully versatile: ideal for borders, meadows, orchards and rewilding.

Where these bee friendly wildflower plants grow best

This collection is happiest in an open, sunny spot on any soil. Plant around 10 plug plants per square metre, or up to 20 for a fuller display, then water them in well and keep young plants clear of competition until established. Once settled, these perennials return and spread year after year with very little work.

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to plant? Plug plants can go in from spring to autumn, avoiding hard frost and drought. Spring and early autumn give the strongest start.

Will they come back every year? Yes. The collection is built around hardy native perennials that return and spread each season.

How many plants do I need? Around 10 plug plants per square metre gives a good display, or up to 20 for a fuller, faster result.
