I want to attract butterflies bees and other insects, but some of the pollenless varieties are pretty. Will they attract insects? |

Sunflowers attract lots of native bees. The pollenless varieties have only nectar rewards; you will attract more bees if you plant sunflower varieties with pollen. http://www.uidaho.edu/pses/Strickler/SolitaryBees/beegarden.htm#anchor1008672 Only the pollenless (and seedless) cutting sunflowers should be avoided if you wish to attract birds. http://www.birdwatchersdigest.com/bbn/articles/top_ten_flowers.html That's all I could find for you on the subject, so far. |
