Quick Facts

Studies have demonstrated that flowering plants have the potential to attract beneficial insects such as ladybugs, lacewings, ground beetles and other insects that feed on pests. Certain wildflowers will attract these beneficial insects. Many of the nectar sipping/pest-eating insects that are attracted to flower pollen will also pollinate your fruit and vegetable crops and increase your yields. The larger the area planted, the better the results. Insectary mix will allow you to reduce insect damage without purchasing costly and harmful chemicals.

Wildflowers also help prevent soil erosion and add nitrogen to the soil, in addition to being aesthetically pleasing to the landscape.
