Wildlife value – Seed plants for wild birds and good sources of nectar for pollinators. This mix includes some catapillar food plants for moths and butterflies.
NB – Sounds like a simple thing to say but to attract wild birds you will need to allow these to go to seed. Some gardeners remove dead flowers as standard but while these plants will help wildlife, if you want to attract the birds, you need to allow the seed heads to develop.
