Great Basin Seed Honey Bee Wildflower Seed Mix, 3 Oz. Package

General Description: Honey Bee Flower Mix is a mixture of annual and perennial flowers that provide nectar and pollen to honey bees. These flowers are proven favorites of honey bees in our gardens and will provide bee forage spring through fall. Honey Bee Flower Mix is ideal for honey beekeepers or anyone interested in honey bee health. This mix can be used in garden beds, borders, planter boxes and other maintained areas. It can also be spread in larger areas for a naturalized look. Plant heights vary from 6″ to 48″. This mix is widely adapted most areas of the United State and southern Canada. For south Texas and the Florida Panhandle see our Texas and Oklahoma or Southeast Wildflower Mix. The annuals in the mix are prolific seed producers and will re-seed themselves year after year. The perennials bloom all summer long and will return from the root stock. The success of returning plants will depend on a number of environmental factors and how you care for your stand. Our wildflower seed mixes are coated with Pinnacle seed coating from Summit Seed Coating. Pinnacle is a highly respected product in the seed industry and is proven to increase germination and establishment rates by up to 50%. In our trial plots coated seed outperformed raw seed by a landslide, resulting in faster establishment, higher plant density and healthier plants. And, you save money! Because germination rates are increased you can plant fewer pounds of seed per square foot. Pinnacle seed coating is applied in a multitude of colors, so don’t be alarmed when your seed arrives and it is pink, green or yellow! Each regional mix is coated in a unique color. It is natural for a small amount of the seed coating to “sluff off” during transport, so you may find a small amount has settled in the bottom of the packaging. The coating is not harmful. Great Basin Seed flower mixes are packaged in our durable, attractive cotton old fashioned flower seed bags. Detailed site preparation and sowing instructions are included with the packaging.
