Wildflower Honey Bee Mix combines annual and perennial flowering plants for a varied garden intended to provide nectar and pollen resources for visiting honey bees. This packet contains 500 non-GMO, heirloom seeds for ornamental beds, borders and other managed garden spaces.

Create a patch where different flowers take their turn through the growing season. The blend includes a range of flower forms, colors and growth habits rather than one uniform plant. Annuals can contribute seasonal color, while perennials may take longer to establish and bloom. Flowering times vary with species, climate and care, so uninterrupted blooms are not guaranteed.

A flowering patch can be one useful part of a bee-friendly garden, but it is not a complete food supply or a guarantee of bee health. Combine it with other suitable flowering plants and thoughtful garden management. Watch which species thrive locally and which visitors use the flowers to guide future plantings.

This mix contains plants from different regions and is not an all-native restoration blend. Check local suitability before sowing near natural areas, and manage reseeding in your garden. The balance of species in a packet and the plants that establish can vary.

Germination Rate: 78%. Test Date: 04/25. AWSC.

Why Choose Honey Bee Mix?

• Flowering variety: Multiple species bring different colors, shapes and seasonal growth patterns.

Planting Tips for Success

• Site: Choose a sunny, well-drained garden area and assess how the included species fit local conditions.
• Preparation: Remove competing weeds and grasses and prepare a clean seedbed rather than scattering seed into established turf.
• Timing: Follow packet directions and local planting guidance. Germination and seasonal requirements differ among the included species.
• Sowing: Use packet coverage and depth instructions. Distribute seed evenly and ensure suitable seed-to-soil contact without burying small seeds deeply.
• Moisture: Keep the seedbed appropriately moist during establishment without waterlogging it. Emergence can occur at different times.
• Spacing: Allow room for mature growth and thin crowded seedlings where needed.
• Fertilizing: Follow soil needs and fertilizer-label guidance rather than heavily feeding the whole planting.
• Support: Taller flowers may need support in exposed locations; this mix does not have one uniform height or habit.
• Pollinator care: Avoid unnecessary insecticide use around flowering plants and follow all product-label precautions.
• Maintenance: Learn to distinguish seedlings from weeds, tidy damaged growth and manage unwanted self-sowing.
