Sowing Native flowers:

Sow the Mullein seeds outdoors from April to October. The flowering period of the Mullein is from June to September.

Flowers are vital for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. They obtain the necessary nectar and pollen from flowers and also ensure the fertilization of the plants.

It is important that bees and butterflies can easily enter the flowers. Many 'modern' flowers have now grown to such an extent that the stamens and pistil are almost impossible for bees and butterflies to reach.

The best way to help wild bees, butterflies and other types of pollinators is to grow wild native flowers in your garden.
