Plants for Bees and Butterflies - Tortworth Plants - Shop
With increasing media attention being focussed on the decline of bee populations in the UK, we are being asked more and more frequently to recommend plants that will attract bees and butterflies to the garden. So the list below shows some of the best varieties that appeal to these beautiful and popular insects.
This is not, by any means, an exhaustive list, and individual gardeners will all have different experiences with bees and butterflies in their own gardens. They are, after all, wild creatures, and may well not have read the rule-book! Hopefully this list will give you a starting point, and then you can also experiment with other varieties, and start to add your own favourites to this list.
