What Do Wildflowers Attract

Flowers attract all kinds of beneficial insects – not just bees and butterflies but also predatory insects such as hoverflies and ladybugs. Together they help to boost harvests and keep common pests like aphids under control.

What is the purpose of wildflowers?

Wildflowers provide seeds, nectar, pollen, and leaves as a source of food and life, especially for pollinators that have small home ranges or that depend on one or two specific host plant species, such as the Mission blue butterfly. They also support people, directly and indirectly.

What is special about wildflowers?

The wildflower promotes the biodiversity, which is the foundation for healthy ecosystems. It also has a genetic pool that provides an incalculable variety of seeds. Cultivars have unique shapes, sizes and colors, which make them super appealing for buyers.
