Narrative
- Creates stable habitats
- A rich mix of annuals, biennials and perennials
- High resistance to drought
Native Pollinator is a valuable habitat mix for pollinating insects that only includes species native to the UK. Backed by scientific research, it is the best available germination tested native seed mix in the UK for pollen and nectar production. In addition, it is widely accepted that native vegetation is best for creating stable habitats where the life cycles of insects use plants for egg laying and larval stages. We have now increased the number of species to over 20 but have purposely chosen to exclude species that are widely considered as undesirable. Native Pollinator is widely adaptable for different habitats and soil types such as riverside edges, partial shade, and roadside verges, with the better adapted species successfully thriving in distinct habitats.
