Flowers by monthBy Mark Patterson BSc Here is a list of some of Mark's recommendations, but there are many other plants that pollinators like too. You might also like to consult the RHS list of bee-friendly plants. The plants suggested here are recommended for garden planting only and are not suitable for planting in wild places such as nature reserves. To do so could be a breach of the Law. For wild areas consult our list of recommended seed suppliers for a supplier specializing in native only plants and seeds. Hover over the photographs for details.
