Book 29, Question 66
What flowers do pollinators love to visit in a garden?
Bees and butterflies like flowers that are open and easy to land on, like daisies, coneflowers, sunflowers, and asters.
Single flowers are better than frilly double ones, which hide the nectar. Choose different plants that bloom in spring, summer, and fall, so food is always available. Group the same plants in clumps so they are easy to find. Pollinators like sunny, sheltered spots.
