Do they do dwarf / smallish mallow or wygelia?

I have a St John's wort I don't like and I know I can get a dwarf buddleia

I'd also like to plant a mallow and wygelia ( I may not have spelt that right) to attract bees - but can you get small ones?

Just to confirm that that dwarf mallow is lovely. I have one and it just keeps on flowering until the first frost. I think it was still flowering in December last year!

I’m not sure about the estimated size given on that website though. Mine is more like 1.50 m wide. Still quite a manageable size.

I have a dwarf Choisya. I love it - it is in a pot and when I am potting on, I bring it onto my table and smell the sweet honey tones - it is fantastic.

Mallow sounds good - I want bees Smile

I don't really know choisya at all - what colour is it? Do bees like it?

Click on the link and you will see what it looks like.

If you want bees, you need simple annual flowers, marigolds, nasturtiums, poppies, nigella, clovers, phacelia, anything with nectar rich flowers - herbs such as oregano and mint which you let flower - google bee friendly plants and pick a few.
