Black-eyed Susan: It's no wonder this flower is amongst the favourites for butterflies! It's bright and vivd colours attracts lots of interest and is also a great source for nectar and pollen. It's strudy platform provides a great place for butterflies to land too.
White Dwarf Buddleja: Buddleja's are a much loved garden plant, and that's just the birds, bees and butterflies! This sweetly scented pretty coloured flower is ideal for helping butterflies thrive in your garden.
Catmint / Nepeta: A twice a year bloomer, with its distinguished blue lavender flowers, catmint is the perfect addition to your greenspace. Most perennial plants do not flower twice a year, this is what makes catmint so special.
White Coneflower: Another flower with an abundance of nectar and pollen for our butterflies, bees and also birds! Not only is the white colours a great way to liven up your garden, you'll be feeding your local wildlife colonies too.
Iron Hard 'Lollipop: This purple flower, otherwise known as Verbena bonariensis is perfect for attracting bees, birds, butterflies, moths and other pollinators. Is has both nectar and pollen rich flowers with seeds that the birds will love.
