At Wildflower Promotions, we have a great passion for restoring Britain’s wildflowers and we genuinely believe that every little seed sown can make a big difference. Our wildflower seed packets not only celebrate nature but also invite people to take part in a creative and eco-friendly form of gift giving. Whether for weddings, birthdays, corporate events or simply to spread a bit of joy, our custom seed packets put nature at the heart of your heartfelt moments.
In our seed packets we offer a blend of vibrant, beneficial and UK-native species that offer something special to pollinators. So what are the top ten plants our seed packets help you grow to provide for our local pollinators?
1. Ox-eye Daisy
A classic perennial, instantly recognisable with its white petals and sunny yellow centre, the Ox-eye Daisy is a magnet for butterflies and bees alike. This beautifully humble flower offers a plentiful supply of nectar while brightening any wildflower patch. It’s charming, resilient, dependable and a favourite amongst beetles (such as snout weevils, tumbling flower beetles, longhorn beetles), hoverflies and caterpillars.
Also known as Lesser Knapweed, this meadow staple provides long-lasting blooms that attract butterflies, bees and hoverflies. Its rich purple hues add depth and texture to any outdoor space and its nectar-rich flowers are a vital lifeline for many insects.
The strong stem of the Common Knapweed also helps to support other wildflower species and the insects it attracts will greatly benefit the diets of small birds: making this a vital flower to establish any flourishing bed of wildflowers.
3. Wild Carrot
Also known popularly as Queen Anne’s Lace this long-living white flower adds a delicate beauty to any outdoor space whilst also offering many benefits for pollinators. Not only does it provide shelter for beneficial insects and flowers that attract pollinating bugs such as sulphur beetles from July to September, but its ethereal beauty creates a beautiful addition to any garden.
This honey-scented perennial wildflower, with its tiny golden flowers, offers a sensory delight. Pollinators and insects such as butterflies, bees and hawk moths (particularly the hummingbird hawk moth) absolutely adore this colourful flower and you will love smelling its sweet fragrance and seeing its uplifting yellow colour in your garden.
5. Teasel
Tall, architectural and striking, teasel features spiky seed heads that butterflies, bees and goldfinches especially adore. It flowers from July to August and its unique form adds texture to your wildflower arrangement long after the blossoms fade.
6. Selfheal
A charming perennial from the mint family with violet flowers that form as groundcover, the Selfheal is a plant with a rich history of healing remedies that continues to benefit Britain’s bee population to this day. Its value lies in the steady supply of nectar it offers pollinators throughout its blooming season, making it an essential wildflower for a healthy meadow.
7. Musk Mallow
With large, pretty pink blooms adorning hedgerows and roadsides, Musk Mallow is a sturdy, dependable perennial. Bees are particularly fond of its pollen. Additionally, the Mallow skipper butterfly and the caterpillars of the Painted Lady Butterfly like to eat this plant; making it a trusty companion in any wildflower garden.
8. Poppy
Bright red, unforgettable and seeped in historic significance, poppies are annuals that self-seed with generosity. Each plant can produce thousands of seeds (with the average around 17,000). However, despite this seeming abundance, they are increasingly uncommon in the wild due to the use of pesticides in the past. Pollinators, especially bees, are drawn to these rare wildflowers.
9. Cornflower
Also called Bachelor’s Button or Bluebottle, cornflower’s bold blue flowers add an iconic pop of colour to any wild space. As an annual, it self-seeds readily and hums with buzzing activity: making it perfect for encouraging biodiversity in any patch of soil.
10. Corn Chamomile
This wildflower offers delicate daisy-like blooms from May to August that cheer the eye and feed nectar-loving insects. This hardy annual is low-maintenance and cheerful; making it ideal for busy gardeners who still want to make space for nature.
Every wildflower in our seed mixes has been chosen due to its specific positive environmental impact when planted across the UK and every seed we supply is not only responsibly sourced but fully traceable and DEFRA checked. This means that you can have complete peace of mind that you are planting native flowers that can help our ecosystems and pollinators thrive; all whilst promoting your brand or event.
Our Seed Packets: Gifts with a Purpose
What makes our offerings extra special is how we package them. Our wildflower seed packets are eco-friendly, plastic-free and made from recycled paper. Inside, the seeds are held in a biodegradable sachet, ensuring they are both practical and gentle on the planet. Everything from the packet to the glue is plant-based and recyclable but also made to keep the seeds dry and safe until planting.
Because our products are designed to embolden biodiversity, they’re perfect as thoughtful gifts: wedding favours, corporate giveaways, children’s party bags, teacher gifts or simply as sweet gestures to let someone know you’re thinking of them.
Need a personal touch? Our custom seed packets can be tailored with your own wording, design or branding. Whether you choose one of our templates or provide your own artwork, we’ll print it at no extra charge, making every packet truly yours.
Let’s bring pollinators back into the gardens, fields and hearts of the UK population with flowers that delight the eye and sustain life. Explore our mixes, from meadow favourites to bee-friendly collections and choose the wildflowers that resonate with you today.
