The ideal mix to attract ladybirds and pollinating beetles – who are super important to our garden ecosystems. Did you know that many beetles are important pollinators who pollinated the first flowers 140 million years ago at the time of dinosaurs?

About a quarter of the UK’s beetles are pollinators, feeding on nectar and then transporting pollen on their legs. They love open faced flowers and those with multiple flower heads – making our mix of flowers perfect for beetles and includes common knapweed, cornflower, cow parsley, field scabious, foxglove, great burnet and yarrow.

  • Recommended sowing rate: 3g per square metre.
  • Approximately 30 seeds per ball.
  • Each tin will provide coverage for 1 square metre in a garden, or 3-5 medium sized pots.
  • Best scattered in Spring or Autumn.
