Wallflower made a huge difference!

Last year we planted an Everlasting Wallflower in the garden as advised by many of the wildlife sites online. It's a lovely purple flower that really is everlasting, from the earliest sunny spring day until Christmas time!

Little did we know when we planted it how many butterflies, beetles, flies and bees it would attract in to the garden! Particularly on the warm, still summer days, the flowers were swarming with insects, with some of the favourites being the huge number of Tortoiseshells, Whites and Peacocks!

A great result and the whole family have enjoyed watching the butterflies flittering and dancing around the garden.

Proof that if you plant the right flowers the insects will come!
