Description

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.

This statuesque biennial is best known and loved by the name Teasel! A native wildflower, Dipsacus fullonum is commonly found among grasssy countryside verges and bordering the margins of fields. The tall, spiky stems are topped with cones of purple-pink flowers that attract bees and other insects. As the blooms fade the seedheads provide useful food for birds - but also make wonderful autumnal stems for adding to dried flower arrangements. A lovely addition to the back of perennial borders, cut flower gardens and wildlife areas. For the best effect, allow it to self-seed, to create naturalistic drifts. Height: 1.5m (5'). Spread: 45cm (18").

Sowing
Sow February to June onto the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed compost. Cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place sown container in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag at a temperature of 15-20C (59-68F) until after germination which usually takes 1-3 months. Do not exclude light as this helps germination. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Gradually acclimatise young plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting them in borders in sun or partial shade. Grow Teasel plants in any fertile, moist soil; including heavy clay soils.
More Info
Water teasel plants regularly until fully established. Dipsacus fullonum will self-seed freely. If seedlings are not wanted, deadhead stems of teasel flowers as the blooms fade. Alternatively leave the seed heads intact as a food source for birds.
