Hello
Please can you recommend some bee friendly seeds I could sow direct now? If perennial or self seeding that would be a bonus! I don’t really have time to plant them transplant.
(I have already done sunflowers, cosmos and echinops so looking for something different). I have sandy, acid soil and it’s a sunny spot.
Thanks in advance for your help! 😀

Nasturtiums are dead easy and bees love them. Not technically perennial but they will self seed and often come back the next year.
