Five flowers every garden should grow for pollinators 🌸🐝🦋 🌼 Oxeye daisy: one flower attracts hoverflies, bees, butterflies and beetles 💜 Lavender: rich in nectar and flowers for weeks during summer 🌻 Sunflower: loved by bees while flowering and birds once the seeds ripen 🌸 Dahlia: choose single flowered varieties for easy access to nectar (grow the other types for you) 🟡 Gaillardia: flowers continuously from summer into autumn, extending the feeding season Which flower in your garden gets the most pollinator visits? Fancy another bonus five flowers I love to grow for pollinators? Borage (edible flowers, cosmos (chocolate cosmos smells like you’d expect), verbena bonariensis (height and colour), cornflowers (lovely to look at and are edible) and sweet peas (amazing fragrance) #growyouown #flowersforpollinators #gardening #flowers
