landed, it can spend more time collecting food from one place, rather than wasting time flitting from bloom to bloom. Colour sends a message Plants use colour to send a signal, advertising to the insects that the nectar bar is open for business. Brightly coloured flowers are naturally found in sunny situations, but in the shade the flowers tend to be pale, often white or cream, as this shows up better in dim light. They lure in the insects with scent rather than colour, pumping out their fragrance more vigorously in the evening to attract in moths and beetles. Although bees will collect nectar from different flowers, they are very drawn to flowers at the blue end of the spectrum, with herbs such as lavender, thyme and borage most favourite. Plants to grow for the bees Native species, but not necessarily our natives, are the most valuable plants to pollinating insects, rather than highly bred cultivars encouraged to give up on producing nectar and pollen in favour of extra large or frilly petals instead. These tend to be sterile too, so of no interest to hungry insects. Stick to blooms that are open hearted with a single row of petals, instead of the show-offs which always remind me of the huge, puffy, Princess Diana-style wedding dresses of the 1980s. Contact Jo for gardening courses and advice: 01233 861149 jo@hornbrookmanor.co.uk Some useful nectar rich plants: Early flowers Lonicera fragrantissima – a shrubby, winter flowering honeysuckle with very fragrant, nectar rich flowers. Hellebore – both the early Helleborus niger (Christmas rose), the slightly later Helleborus orientalis (Lenten rose) and the shrubbier Helleborus argutifolius will provide a vital source of nectar for early emerging bumble bees and other insects. Early spring bulbs, such as winter aconites, crocuses, Scillas and Muscari will carpet under trees and shrubs. Mid-season Aquilegias – these appear at the end of spring and will self-seed in favourable conditions Herbs, such as Thyme and Marjoram, are very pretty when they flower – just cut them back as you would lavender once they’ve finished to keep them tidy. Scabious – a mound forming perennial for the front of the border with long lasting ‘pin cushion’ flowers in shades of pale blue, pink or white. Late summer and autumn Buddleia – our beloved butterfly bush that flowers in late summer and attracts a mass of pollinating insects. Prune hard in spring so that you will be able to appreciate the flowers at eye level – left unpruned buddleias grow too tall and unruly – and the flowers will appear right at the top of the plant. Hebe – these mainly evergreen shrubs come in many sizes, but all produce nectar rich flowers at around the same time as buddleias Verbena bonariensis – a tall, wiry, but elegant meadow plant from Argentina. If it likes you, it will set seed literally everywhere… Asters – with their late flowering daisy flower heads will flower into October and beyond. Abelia grandiflora – an autumn flowering shrub with small, pale pink flowers and long lasting darker, rusty pink bracts Above: A lavender hedge will keep the bees happy for weeks Right: Hellebores are a great source of early nectar. 103 surrey-homes.co.uk
