Sneezewort has pretty clusters of tiny snowy white

Sneezewort has pretty clusters of tiny snowy white flowers held on long stems that can be used as a cut flower.
It is a wonderful wildflower to grow by a pond edge where it will attract plenty of insects. It prefers a moist soil but not waterlogged and growing to around 60cm it is also lovely in a meadow area or cottage garden mixed with other Herbaceous perennials.
If creating an apothecary garden, Sneezewort will be a great wildflower to add, with traditional uses in herbal medicine #sneezewort #achilleaptarmica #wildflowers #wildlifepond #cutwildflowers #flowerarranging #apothecary #apothecarygarden #whitegarden

The pretty umbels of Wild angelica flowers just co

The pretty umbels of Wild angelica flowers just coming into their own. The flower clusters have a pink- purple tinge and are great for attracting a range of insects from July - September.
Wild Angelica is an interesting addition to the garden as it can grow to 2m tall so adds a statement to any planting scheme. It has culinary uses too. 😊 - the flowers, stems, roots, leaves and seeds are all edible in one way or another!
If there is a damp area in the garden, this is the perfect plant, as in the wild it would be found in a damp meadow, stream bank or woodland edge in sun or part shade.

Wildflowers look great as part of a border, whether in sun or shade, and adding a small number of wildflowers will increase biodiversity to help bring more wildlife to your garden.
Choose wildflowers that would naturally thrive in those conditions of your border be it sun/ shade wet/ dry. The pollinators attracted will also help pollinate any fruit or veg in your garden too 🙌 Check our website to find wildflowers for your chosen location. #fieldscabious #knautia #plantsforpollinators #wildflowers #kitchengarden #stourhead #wildflowergarden

Marjoram is one of our top 10 wildflowers for attracting bees to the garden, loving full sun or partial shade and very happy in high temperatures too!
This is our native Oregano so will grow happily in the heat of the summer. The aromatic leaves can be used fresh in cooking or dried and the flowers are edible too.
In a large outdoor space or small it’s always a great wildflower to have in your bee friendly collection, preferring a well drained chalk or limestone soil 😊

The bright yellow Rough Hawkbit flowers in a meado

The bright yellow Rough Hawkbit flowers in a meadow may easily be mistaken as Dandelion flowers.
Rough hawkbit IS in the same family and shares several characteristics with Dandelions but there are some differences too! If you love a dandelion flower then you’ll love the Rough hawkbit and it’s loved by pollinators too.
Each flower is carried on a single stem and once finished becomes a fluffy seed head - swipe to see - so if you wish to save the seed catch it while you can . Otherwise the seeds will quickly disperse by wind to find a nearby patch to germinate for the following year.
Rough hawkbit is a meadow plant of unimproved alkaline grassland, flowering from June - September and in a garden could be added to a well drained grassed area or mini meadow in full sun. The deep roots help each plant to obtain nutrients and water even in the driest conditions.
If you keep a Tortoise this is a great foraging food for your Tortoise to munch 🐢
