Planting window & establishment
Butterfly & Bumblebee is a pre-seeded, biodegradable wildflower mat engineered to deliver high pollen/nectar output and visible habitat value. With a balanced portfolio of annuals, perennials and wildflowers, it supports bees and butterflies from spring through fall while maintaining a cohesive, medium meadow profile (approx. 30–60 cm). Target the recommended sowing windows and keep moisture consistent during the first weeks to de-risk establishment and optimize seasonal performance.
This mix is positioned for both spring sowing and autumn sowing. Prioritize a window where you can keep the surface evenly moist during establishment and where early weed pressure can be managed proactively.
Delivery is execution-dependent. Germination timelines vary with temperature, rainfall/irrigation discipline, soil contact, and weed pressure. Align operations with local site conditions, access windows, and your maintenance plan.
