Many of the insects described in this book feed on pollen and nectar. Because the hybridized bedding plants found in nurseries are bred to be beautiful to humans, they have lost some of the characteristics that make them attractive to insects. Flowering herbs and wildflowers are a better source of nectar and will attract a wide variety of insects. Here are some suggested plants that produce lots of nectar and pollen to attract good bugs:
Alfalfa
Angelica
Baby-Blue-Eyes
Baby’s Breath
Buckwheat
Caraway
Carrot
Clover (sweet, white, yellow, and crimson)
Coriander (Cilantro)
Cosmos (White Sensation)
Dill
Feverfew
Goldenrod
Lavender
Lemon Balm
Lovage
Marigold (Lemon Gem)
Mustard
Nasturtiums
Parsley
Queen Anne’s Lace
Rose-scented Geraniums
Spearmint
Sunflowers
Sweet Alyssum
Sweet Fennel
Tansy
Thyme
White Sage…
…and any wildflowers native to your region
