As plotters, we all know the importance of encouraging insect pollinators. The RHS Garden Magazine for July has an interesting article by Kate Bradbury recommending plants from seeds that can give pollinators a big boost.
Kate’s recommendations are:
Borage
Cornflowers
Cosmos
Field Poppy
Honeywort (Cerinthe)
Nasturtium
Scabious
Snapdragon (Antirrhinum)
Sunflower
Viper’s Bugloss (Echium)
Many of these are to be seen on our plots and site. Can anyone comment or suggest alternatives?
Back copies of RHS Gardening (and other mags) are available in the Octagon.
