Find out what all the buzz is about with this pollinator friendly collection of nectar rich perennials. Bees, butterflies and hummingbirds are nature’s workforce and your garden will benefit with abundance. Easy to grow, these hardy perennials are chosen especially for their bright colourful blooms that are attractive to pollinators and will return year after year to bloom all summer. Beautifying the garden and providing reliable pollinator food sources sound like perfect harmony.
When planting: place the bulbs in clusters, the bare roots in singles and allow space for them to mature into large clumps. These low maintenance perennials are hardy, so they can stay in the ground and large containers year-round.
These varieties are shipped as dormant bare-root perennials and bulbs. Once you receive your collection, you can start your bare-root plants in pots on a warm windowsill. You can also plant these roots directly in the ground once the soil is warm and workable. They can be stored in a cool dark location between 2 – 8 °C (35 – 45 °F) for 2 to 3 weeks.
