Wildflowers for Wildlife

No wildlife garden is complete without a good selection of wildflowers, for it is these native species upon which most of our wild bees, butterflies, bumblebees and other insects depend. many species also provide seeds for our declining finches and sparrows. Even if wildlife gardening is not your objective, many of our beautiful wildflowers also make fantastic garden plants, flowering over long periods, providing lots of vibrant colour and helping our wildlife into the bargain. Lots of wildflower species are threatened in the countryside as meadows are ploughed up and hedgerows pulled out. But seeds of many of these treasures are available from specialist suppliers, so we can still enjoy them in our own gardens.

This book describes in detail 30 wildflower species suitable for garden cultivation. Each plant is illustrated in full colour and there are details about growing the plants from seed, the wildlife they attract and some of the fascinating folklore that surrounds them.
