Which is the best flower to attract pollinators?

According to the study of 111 flower species (Rollings & Goulson 2019), the most popular plants amongst the insects were Lesser Calamint (Calamintha nepeta), Autumn Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale), and Geranium ‘Rozanne’ (a popular Geranium cultivar).

Native plants generally attract a much wider variety of insects, but the difference is not big.  Also, there is not really a difference if the plants are annuals, biennials, or perennials. 

Also, different pollinators do have a preference for specific plants.  But, the reason behind their flower preference is still unknown. 

For example, according to the study, some plants were found to attract a broad range of pollinators but others attracted only a few species.

Another example is the daisy-like New York Aster (Aster novi belgii) which were visited mostly by honeybees or bumblebees, but the Golden Chamomile (Anthemis tinctoria), which also have daisy-like flowers, did not attract a single honeybee or bumblebee but was popular with solitary bees, hoverflies and other pollinators.

So, what does this mean?

The best approach is to grow a variety of flowers of different species and different colors to attract a variety of pollinators.

And, one of the best ways to plant flowers in your yard or garden is to make seed bombs.

Happy gardening!
