This Summer Flower is the Only One You Need to Attract Bees – Plant it in April for a Pollinator-Packed Garden

There are plenty of ways to encourage bees, butterflies and other insects to visit your garden, but in my view, there’s only one plant you really need to attract pollinators – and that’s alliums. These low-maintenance perennials are hardy, drought-tolerant and wonderfully handsome in a planter or border.

The spring sunshine will always boost your mood, but there’s nothing like lounging under blue skies and listening to the delicate buzz of bees. Pollinators aren’t just brilliant for your plants; they’re also an endless source of joy in the warmer months.
