Description

The #1 choice for gardeners and small growers wanting to provide pollinator habitat while improving soil health! 

A complimentary mix of annuals that will grow for one season, attracting a wide range of pollinators, including bumble bees, hoverflies and hummingbirds. The diversity of plant species allows for a continuous supply of blooming flowers that provide food and habitat over most of the growing season.

Can be mowed or tilled as a green manure in late summer, fall or the following spring.
