Original price was: £29.99.£23.99Current price is: £23.99.
(100 Plug Plants)Attract more wild birds to your garden with this wildflower mix
This mix of wildflower plugs contains a huge range of wildflowers and grasses that are selected to help attract a range of wild birds to your garden. Some will also provide seeds making them a great food source for the birds during the winter months. Many of the wildflower varieties will also attract bees and butterflies to your garden too, great if you’re growing your veg nearby.
There are over 100 different varieties, all annuals which will readily self seed, giving you continual colour and diversity for months. They are great for planting in a dedicated patch in the garden, or in large planters or an old wheelbarrow tucked into nooks and corners around your garden.
