Limagrain UK has announced the arrival of Butterfly – a new unique mixture to the popular Colour Splash range of amenity flowers.
Limagrain’s new Colour Splash Butterfly Mix is a brand new annual, bi-annual and perennial mix specifically designed to attract butterflies at a time when butterfly numbers have been declining.
This mixture is an ideal solution for those wanting to bring a splash of colour to the landscape as well as attracting butterflies and other insects. It is a mid to tall mixture and will produce a vast array of flowers over a long flowering period.
The Butterfly mix is a collaboration of beautiful flowers including:
- Yarrow
- Morning Glory
- Cornflower
- Shasta Daisy
- Tickseed
- Garden Cosmos
- Yellow Cosmos
- Foxglove
- Sweet William
- Perennial Flax
- Rocket Candytuft
- Zinnia Mixed
Butterfly is ideally sown from between April and June and germinates in 8-10 days in the correct conditions.
This popular mixture is just one of nine exquisite mixtures in the Colour Splash range – each meeting the numerous expectations of those who delight in appreciating a significant dash of colour. The Colour Splash mixtures are not only great for aesthetic purposes but they also have a significant impact on the surrounding wildlife in the sense that they provide a refuge that offers a rich and varied source of food.
The Colour Splash range of mixtures are extremely easy to sow and the resulting flowers are vigorous plants which are more than capable of competing with weeds. Their vigour is equally matched by robustness; resisting long periods of drought. They are also fast flowering and cost effective.
The new Colour Splash brochure which includes all of the ranges is now available.
