Several questions about what plants are the best for attracting pollinators and other beneficial insects. Variety is the key but two of especially good choices are almond verbena and white Gregg\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s mistflower. Another group of plants that work in this category are the edible flowering plants. Here\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s an up of that review.
\n\u00ac\u2020
\nEating flowers has been done throughout the world for centuries. Roses and orange flowers are commonly used in Middle Eastern and Persian foods; lilies are used in China; cherry blossoms and chrysanthemums are used in Japan; lavender is a favorite in England and France; and the Mediterranean countries enjoy saffron in their food. Of course, not all flowers are edible — some are poisonous either naturally or from the use of toxic chemical pesticides. Only eat flowers grown organically. Flowers from florists, nurseries and traditional garden centers should not be eaten. If your garden center is organic, eat away. After any plants have been under the organic program in your garden, they should be good to eat.

DISCLAIMER: Don\u201a\u00c4\u00f4t eat edible wild plants based on what you see in a book or here on the Internet. Have a qualified instructor show you the plants and don’t eat them until the instructor shows you how to prepare them. Know that you may be allergic to a plant that someone else can eat without any problem. And of course avoid plants that may have been sprayed with pesticides.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00ac\u2020<\/p>\n
