I am growing yellow Helenium, they are pretty much like Echinacea purpurea (Cone Flowers)

Thumb of 2016-05-05/kate007/463f2c

Verbena; these have lots of stems, quite long stems . I was surprised how many stems and how far they spread out towards the lawn is best way I can explain..bees love Verbena.

Sunflowers; goes without saying Bees love them. I have a Sunflower germinated doing well and I did three,two for a friend's two kiddies.

Scabious; these are driving me mad, they would be a lovely as they are black and speckled with white but I just can't get them to germinate. I don't have a propagator and no cistern so reliant on my Skybox heat. Rolling on the floor laughing

Agapanthus

Hostas.

Fritilareas

Peonies; another I try but fail except once when I got two flowers after six years... Rolling my eyes.

Hollyhocks; one I am trying.

****************

Plants that Bees love I do not grow but have done.

Lupins

Dahlias; last year I grew Bishop Of Landaff and there was loads of flowers till Autumn, quite tall a variety plant.

Agastache foeniculum



Veronicas
