Flower seeds to attract wildlife to your garden

Jan. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- You don’t have to have an unkempt garden with wild flowers and weeds left to run riot in order to attract wildlife. Simply make sure you buy seeds that grow into plants which naturally attract a variety of birds, bees and small animals. Here’s a guide to some of the best wildlife-attracting seeds from Seeds By Post (http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk/).

Alyssum Carpet of Snow
This is a great one for ensuring you’re attracting birds, bees and butterflies to every inch of your garden. Alyssum Carpet of Snow seeds will grow and spread well across beds, borders and rockeries but it does just as well in hanging baskets. That way you’ll have butterflies at eye level and above and bees and other insects gathering at your feet.

Antirrhinum Sachmo
Bees love trumpet shaped flowers and bright colours, and they don’t come much more vibrant or exotically shaped than the Antirrhinum Sachmo flower. These flower seeds will give you plants which will thrive in beds and borders and which will turn your garden into a wonderland for the bumble bee.

Butterfly Mix
If you want to attract butterflies to your garden then look no further than the Butterfly Mix packet of seeds. Part of our seeds for kids collection, this handy mixture will produce a range of flowers which butterflies flock to for nectar.

Bergamot
This is another flower which butterflies love for its nectar. This hardy perennial will flower a year after you’ve sowed the seeds and produce aromatic foliage and attractive flowers. Expect to find some hummingbirds and bumble bees making a beeline for Bergamot too.
Echinops Globe Thistle
The Echinops Globe Thistle is a hardy architectural plant which will provide a striking addition to your garden while attracting a wealth of bees and butterflies who feed off its beautiful blue globe-shaped flowers.

This is just a handful of the extensive mail order seeds available from Seeds By Post which will turn your back garden into a haven for wildlife. Check out the whole collection at http://www.seedsbypost.co.uk/.
