Inspired by the view of an alpine meadow full of bees, bumblebees, butterflies and other insects, and swallows that fly over our heads in a flash, hunting for the above-mentioned insects (and maintaining biological balance), we are once again discussing the topic of flowering plants. Insect friendly.
One of our favorite aspects of the work of nurserymen is the ability to provide
flowering and decorative plants for each month.
At this moment, we would like to draw your attention to the beautiful
Buddleja, i.e. butterfly bushes, a classic of gardening art, which not only look beautiful in the summer, but also smell and attract insects, and give us the opportunity to conduct nature observations (a great way to spend time also with children). Check out the amazing varieties you can still order, like the two-tone
'Berries & Cream'®, the miniature
Butterfly Candy®Little Lila, the bold
'Black Knight', the charming
'Pink Delight', and the sophisticated
'White Profusion'.
Other plants that we recommend to support biodiversity are
Caryopteris, available in several varieties, in small quantities - with blue and pink flowers (
'Stephi'®), or with two-color leaves and blue flowers (
'Summer Sorbet'®).
In the context of bees,
Physocarpus is also worth mentioning, which we consider to be one of the best garden plants - beautiful and undemanding. See what we offer.
Today's short review cannot miss
Potentilla, which we have admired several times this season, and which in the surrounding gardens shamelessly show their charms and tempt with the colors of small, but extremely numerouslowers.
And
Weigela? Of course, we must not forget about it, after all, in the summer we are happy to watch bumblebees bravely dipping their stocky, strong bodies deep into the sweet interior of flowers in various shades of pink and red.
These are just a few "insect" suggestions, let us know what you
choose.
