Plant for Pollinators

When we had an allotment in Wakefield.

We grew this as a companion to our raspberries. It draws the pollinators to the, significantly less showy, soft fruit flowers.

We had the finest crop of raspberries last year that we have ever had.

Our local fruit farm has banks of this stuff around the orchards and soft fruit beds doing the same job for our helpful buzzing buddies. The butterflies love it too!

So, do us all a favour in your spare bits of ground, or just in pots.
