Discover Our Pollinator-Friendly Stars:
Our collection features robust, nectar-rich varieties proven to be irresistible to your garden's winged visitors:
-
Lavandula Angustifolia (True Lavender)
-
Unique Fact: The name "lavender" is thought to derive from the Latin "lavare" (to wash), reflecting its ancient use in bathing and its long-lasting, soothing fragrance, which beautifully persists even when dried. Its dense flower spikes are a magnet for all types of bees.
-
Salvia Nemorosa 'Mainacht' & 'Caradonna' (Woodland Sage / Perennial Salvia)
-
Unique Fact: These Salvia cultivars are celebrated for their exceptionally long blooming season, often re-flowering from late spring through autumn with simple deadheading. 'Caradonna' stands out with its striking, almost black, flower stems that create a dramatic contrast with its vivid purple blooms, drawing in bees and butterflies alike.
-
Persicaria amplexicaulis (Mountain Fleece)
-
Unique Fact: Unlike many perennials with a short flowering window, Persicaria amplexicaulis offers a continuous display of vibrant red, bottlebrush-like flower spikes from mid-summer well into late autumn, providing a vital nectar source when other blooms are scarce. Its common name refers to the soft, woolly texture of its flowers.
-
Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop' (Compact Brazilian Verbena / Tall Verbena)
-
Unique Fact: 'Lollipop' is a compact, dwarf version of the popular Verbena bonariensis, retaining its signature airy, "see-through" quality that allows you to plant it without obscuring plants behind it. Its stiff, wiry stems are topped with clusters of tiny purple flowers, making it an absolute magnet for butterflies, which perch easily on its slender structure.
Cultivating a pollinator garden is a rewarding experience, offering both visual splendour and a profound connection to nature.
