Canna lily for hummingbirds, marigolds for pests, and dahlias for bees
What companion planting book would you recommend please?
Salvias, any kind—bees and hoverflies love them!

accidentally planted marigolds and holy hocks in my garden and left them because I thought they looked pretty. now I know why there were less bugs than usual. 🙂

Love this! Companion plants are soo underrated 💚👍 I’ve subscribed. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for the great info.
I inherited a rather large Salvia plant from the previous tenant of my home. The bumblebees LOVE it! I saw two different species of bumblebee in it just yesterday.
I’m growing my garden in containers, and have interspersed containers of marigold, snapdragon, pansies, and various herbs (rosemary and thyme chiefly) among my vegetable pots to help bring color, attract pollinators, and repel pests.
Basil and marigolds with tomatoes , Borage and wild flowers are fab and look great for the bees long into Autumn from Spring.
Foxgloves and Hollyhocks. Echinacea and Cosmos help too. Love Calendula.
Nasturtiums help keep black fly off too!
So many . And many uses for the helping plants as well, teas , infusions , balms. Etc
This is so helpful to a newbie gardener in Qld, Australia. Love your helpful videos. Thank you 👏🏼🙌🏼

Amazing! This is just what we were looking for. It is very beneficial that you are British, so that your garden choices & layout can be replicated here in the Netherlands 🙂
Australian/American gardeners have different logic in gardening and their tips sometimes don’t workout for northern Europeans.
Brilliant video, thanks so much for posting. I’ve been growing lots of veggies during lockdown and am just planting them out so will definitely include some suggested flowers amongst them. Isn’t the creation amazing!!!!
A fantastic video, thank you. Btw I find extremely helpful and beneficial to co-plant lavender with practically everything.

I like this method of planting I always plant flowers amongst my vegetable. last year my leeks flowered and self seeded, I noticed a clump of what looked like leeks this spring they were in clumps of 4 I pulled one up it was the most delicious leeks I have ever tasted. I also have volunteer potatoes in the garden as much as I try to harvest every thing I am always late because of other commitments, as a result lots of volunteer potatoes. I have one that has come up for 5 years and it is not available for sale any more (Lady Christelle).
I like seeing neat all in a row vegetable planted but I do not have the time to do that instead of giving up I have put this method in practice and it works quite well I enjoy it.
Thank so much, very informative. I’m new to gardening and I’m trying to include flowers in my vegetable garden. I live in Trinidad and Tobago and my challenge is finding some of those flowers that you suggested. I plant a lot of marigold. But, I intend to keep searching. new subscriber.
Cant wait to implement this idea. Thank you.
Please remember to only sow native flowers or flowers that will not take over and invade your natives!!!
