Bee Lawn Seed Mixture

Bring On The Bees!

Help reverse the trend of bee decline by planting this seed for bees with a mix of fine-fescue grasses and flowers. Flowers will provide high quality nutrition for bees and other pollinators.
Critical for much of our food supply, pollinators are in decline due to habitat loss and pesticide use. Adding habitat to our neighborhoods can make a large impact.
Can be treated much like a regular lawn. Mow at least 3” high and refrain from mowing when flowers are blooming. Mowing is optional, and flowers will bloom more profusely if left unmown or infrequently mown.
Do not use herbicide; control weeds by hand weeding.
White clover in these bee friendly seeds fixes atmospheric nitrogen, reducing the need for nitrogen fertilizer.
Self-heal (purple flower in photos) may not flower until the second year after seeding
