Statement Certification  

The United Kingdom’s wild bees and other pollinators are considered to be in decline. By planting nectar and pollen rich flowers over a long season, this trend can be reduced. The plant varieties within our Flora Seed Mixes for substrate green roofs have been specially selected and blended to give a high diversity of wildflowers included in the RHS Perfect for Pollinators list to provide a rich habitat for priority pollinators, larval food plants for butterflies and seed sources for birds.
