Planting bulbs for wildlife

November is a really good time to think about planting a variety of bulbs which will provide early bees, butterflies and hover flies with plenty of nectar in the spring.  You can plant a succession of bulbs so that there will always be something in flower over a longer period.

Bulbs could include:

• Crocus
• Snowdrops
• Grape hyacinths
• Fritilliaries
• Bluebells
• Alliums
• Lilies
• Irises 
•
