An “insectary” is a place for rearing insects, be it outdoors in the field, or a commercial facility for providing packaged beneficial species. An “insectary species” is a plant that provides food, pollen, or shelter that enhances fecundity for insects, especially beneficial kinds. Many species that we sell will serve an insectary function when allowed to bloom. This mix is intended as a perennial backbone for a hedge or border that will serve as seasonal windbreak and long term oasis for bug ranching and bird feeding. Add other ornamental perennials and annuals to give allies a year-round wild garden. One ounce plants approximately 1000 row feet.
Wild Garden Edible Insectary Mix Provides a spring thru fall sequence of flowering that your resident beneficials can count on. Self-sowing biennials and annuals compliment backbone perennials,and provide seedheads and winter scratch for birds. Broadcast or sow in rows 14” apart, thin to a final spacing of 12”. Manage plant density by weeding and thinning volunteers each spring and throughout the season.
