Biodiversity - examples of native flower selection for field logos with plant information, flowering calendar, flowering curve, bee value and much more

Which flowers or flower selection is suitable for spectacular ground pictures? When does what bloom? In which colors?

Field advertising telecom biodiversity and biodiversity
Every message is absolutely unique. And so is the flower mix. Screenshot (c) Telekom.

In our flower selection, we present a few of our favorites that we have often used for logo cultivation and for large ground pictures. We have placed special emphasis not only on particularly beautiful flowers, but also on their value for biodiversity, biotope networking and the special benefits for insects, wild bees and soil life. Many native field and wild flowers have become rare or are even threatened with extinction (Red List). That is why we want to use our colorful and highly precise logo cultivation to promote native rarities that are rarely found in normal flower strips or in nature.

With well-designed flowering islands, we bring back rare species, promote biodiversity and connect habitats. We are also happy to show you a few flowers here that don't have too much of a colour effect in themselves, but instead store nitrogen from the air in the soil in sustainable humus and thus fertilize the soil in a completely natural way and make it attractive for soil life. Just let yourself be inspired by the wonderful possibilities with which we can sow your logo.

Let's mix native flowers and flower colors together

It doesn't always have to be a cultivation with a single variety for one color. Perhaps your message in the field will come to life through a variety of everything that nature has to offer, gradually igniting a firework display of diversity. Here we would like to show you our experiences of what could bloom on a geoglyph and how. And of course there is much more!

Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia agg.)

Sainfoin is a soil-improving deep-rooted plant. It has root nodules with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Nectar is abundant and accessible to short-tailed bees/wild bees; the plant is an excellent bee pasture. Sainfoin is one of the most important plants that can use nitrogen from the air. In the past, sainfoin was widely used as horse or cattle feed. Its economic importance today is more as a beautiful component of colorful, insect-friendly mixtures. Here it is one of the most important components of eligible ecological priority areas.

Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum)

For the beekeeper, buckwheat is a high-yield crop, along with phacelia and canola. Every 10,000 square meters can feed 3 to 4 bee colonies and produce valuable honey. But also songbirds love the seeds of buckwheat and are happy about the abundant food supply. For humans, buckwheat is a gluten-free alternative to rye or wheat.

Phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia)

Phalcelia is the "bee friend" par excellence. These are plants that offer a particularly large amount of nectar and pollen and thus provide food for bees and also other insects. Due to its flowering in blue-purple it is also a highlight for nature-oriented gardens. For beekeepers, up to 500 kg of honey are possible. Due to the strict regulations in Germany as a pure honey, Phacelia honey is a natural and environmentally conscious component of healthy nutrition.

Alexandrine clover (Trifolium alexandrinum)

Alexandrine clover is a natural partner of grasses in grassland. Its nitrogen-fixing lifestyle makes it an ideal complement to grasses. For wild animals, the soft parts of the plant are naturally much more popular than hairy plants or thistles. Due to its long flowering, a is very popular with all insects. For humans one of the most underestimated foods as it strongly increases well-being and is recommended as a home remedy for depression.

Borage (Borago officinalis)

Borage is a plant belonging to the Boraginaceae family. It is used as a spice and medicinal plant and therefore bears the species epithet "officinalis". Wild bees and bumblebees especially enjoy borage. Hoverflies, butterflies and wild bees love borage, which is also called cucumber herb. It is also easy to grow in your own garden or on your balcony. In bee mixtures, it complements the other mixture partners excellently. It is edible as a topping or as a substitute for cucumber.

Field pea (Pisum sativum)

Cultivation of peas has a very positive effect on the soil. Popular with bumblebees and butterflies. Field pea can bind nitrogen from the air with its roots and nodule bacteria, and thus strongly contributes to the natural fertility of the soil. It is especially popular with field hares and humans.

Yellow mustard (Sinapis)

Yellow mustard is a healthy plant for the soil, as it reduces nematodes living in the soil and loosens the soil through its strong root growth and promotes earthworms and other soil organisms. Mustard is readily visited by bees and bumblebees. The woody residue, on the other hand, is used as a shelter for smaller insects. Since the yellow mustard comes from the Mediterranean region, it is not hardy. For grilling or as a salad dressing, it is not only delicious, but also digestive and antibiotic. In light cooking it is popular as a substitute for fatty oils and fats, and its ingredients increase muscle growth.

Color scale: yellow. Flowering peak in the months 5-11, blueh span 6 months.
