Support bees, hoverflies and other early pollinators with our Early Pollinator Bulb Collection. Combining Crocus, Muscari and Drumstick Alliums, this carefully selected collection of spring-flowering bulbs provides one of the earliest and most valuable sources of nectar and pollen for bees and other beneficial insects.
Suitable for containers, borders and wildlife-friendly gardens these pollinator-friendly spring bulbs flower in succession from late winter into late spring, bringing colour to your garden while helping wildlife thrive.
One of the biggest challenges facing pollinators is finding food at the very beginning of the season, when few flowers are available. As bees, hoverflies and other beneficial insects emerge from winter, this collection helps bridge the gap by providing a succession of early-season blooms.
Designed for layered planting, the bulbs flower one after another to create a long-lasting display while supporting biodiversity. Plant them together in a large container for maximum impact or use the same layered technique in borders and beds for a natural-looking spring display.
| Species | Flowering Period |
|---|---|
| Crocus | February – March |
| Muscari | March – April |
| Drumstick Allium | April – May |
This collection is wonderfully versatile. Plant all three varieties together in a large container using the layered planting technique for a succession of flowers from February to May, or plant them through borders, beneath shrubs or in wildlife-friendly areas of the garden where they'll return year after year.
For the greatest impact, repeat the planting in several locations to create pockets of colour and valuable feeding stations for pollinators throughout your outdoor space.
Layer the bulbs in one large container for a continuous display, or plant each variety in drifts through borders and beds to create natural-looking pockets of early nectar.
Early spring can be one of the hardest times of year for pollinators. This collection makes it easy to provide a succession of nectar-rich flowers just when they're needed most, proving that even a single pot or a small corner of the garden can make a meaningful difference.
