Flower Seeds for Attracting Wildlife

We stock the full range of Unwin’s “Nature’s Haven” seeds for exactly this purpose. Our Butterflies Flower Mix is a cottage garden favourite, providing a great source of sustenance for butterflies and many other insects. Calendula is a long-flowering variety in a mix of orange and gold offering lots of nectar, particularly attractive to bees who love the bright blooms. Our Cottage Garden Choice Seed Mix is perfect for informal planting schemes, offering a random mix of colour and long flowering season. Echinacea Leuchstern is an excellent cut flower or border perennial with beautiful pink flowers with a prominent, open stamen, hence it’s common name of coneflower. Choose Foxglove Woodlanders for beautiful, stately flower spikes in beds and borders, a little more informal than delphinium plants. Sunflower Oranges and Lemons is a timeless classic, perfect for cutting and attractive to birds which feast on their rich, oils seeds if left uncut later in the season.
