Insectaries

These flowering plants attract pollinating insects such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, which are needed to spread pollen to turn flowers into fruit!

Others in this group are so strongly scented that they confuse and deter pests.

Here is a list of good insectaries to plant in temperate climates:

Dill

Fennel

Bee Balm

Lavender

Rosa Rugosa
