Decided next year's home-sown flowers will be zinnias. No more petunias because they don't do much if anything for bees. But zinnias seem to be a hit with bees from what Google tells me, plus I love the look of their daisy-like flower and their bright, bold colours.
Bought some today to fill in some holes in the vegetable garden and hopefully attract some bees.
A few zinnia bookmarks:
- I like the "Zahara bonfire" mix seeds in this page.
- 9 honeybee-friendly plants
- A general zinnia page
