Hello guys at wiseedgirl,

Im writing about we got honey bees I would like to plant Peranul Flowers that bloom from spring till frost maybe about 2 to 4 deffrent once its on south side of a woods along road bank fairly poor ground some I was looking at the red star for q what kind of edable fruit would it produce I don’t want one that makes bitter honey rather light honey I found one on Pacific Giant says bees would that be a good one

Also super select mix would you please give advise we are here in [undisclosed state] wher we get 90 to 100 weather sometime not frost till Nov. wher the red star would be is real ridge bottom ground not very wet

Would you wright + tell me Please + thank you

Thank you for your letter regarding perennials for your bees. In addition to the Pacific Giant Mixed Delphinium and Red Star Passiflora, I would recommend:

--Any of the other types of Delphinium (Cardinale, Centurion Sky Blue Hybrid, Rose and Pink Shades, Dwarf Blue Butterfly, or Summer Morning).

--Eryngium [Flat Sea Holly] (varieties Blue Glitter or Blue Hobbit).

--Ruby Bells Heuchera [Coral Bells].

--Munstead Dwarf Lavender.

--Panorama Mixed Monarda [Bee Balm].

--Any of the other types of Passiflora [Passion Flower] (Alata or Caerulea).

If you are interested in going with a perennial field crop, various types of alfalfa and clover make flavorful, light-colored honey.

I hope that helps you out. If I can help you out with any future questions, please do not hesitate to send them in.

Have A Great Day!
