The Kew Pollinators range of seeds from Thompson and Morgan has been specially created alongside the experts at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to attract and support a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies and beetles, as well as a number of other important pollinating insects. Helping these pollinators to thrive is hugely important for our eco-system as a whole and these seeds, in their striking packaging inspired by artwork from the Kew archives, will help to create the environment which they need to thrive, with varieties chosen to help a wide range of pollinating insects, including some night flowering plants to help moths which also play an important part in our gardens.
Fill beds and borders with this superb tobacco plant. Nicotiana alata is a tall annual with dense, weed smothering foliage when planted en masse. The summer blooms rise above the leaves on slender stems, perfuming the evening air with a sweet fragrance. Nicotiana is at its best when planted in swathes throughout borders, coping well in sun or light shade. A lovely choice for cottage gardens, wildlife areas and informal bedding. Height: 90cm (36"). Spread: 45cm (18").
