Butterflies & Bees Collection
Bees and butterflies are an important part of the garden. They not only help to pollenate plants, but they bring movement and colour into our gardens. It is important to grow the plants that they like to feed on to encourage them. When ordering, to save confusion, please take a note of the plants in this collection as by the time you receive them they may have changed. Featured plants run approximately from tallest (top lefthand corner) to shortest (bottom righthand corner).
