The Kew Pollinators range of seeds from Thompson and Morgan has been specially created alongside the experts at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to attract and support a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies and beetles, as well as a number of other important pollinating insects. Helping these pollinators to thrive is hugely important for our eco-system as a whole and these seeds, in their striking packaging inspired by artwork from the Kew archives, will help to create the environment which they need to thrive, with varieties chosen to help a wide range of pollinating insects, including some night flowering plants to help moths which also play an important part in our gardens.
Lavender ‘Munstead’ is a well-respected English Lavender, boasting a profusion of dark purple flower spikes in late summer. The nectar-rich blooms are constantly busy with the hum of pollinating insects, but spare a few to be cut and dried, so you can enjoy their fragrance all year round. The bushy, aromatic foliage is perfect for creating a low hedge beside a path or adding some fragrance to sunny borders. Height: 45cm (18"). Spread: 60cm (24").
