Wildflowers help create continuity of forage through the year for bees, hoverflies, butterflies and other insects.
Flowering plants for pollinators.
Flowering plants support pollinators, seed-eating birds, soil life and the broader food web.
Knapweed, selfheal, red clover, oxeye daisy, birds-foot trefoil, yarrow, meadowsweet and scabious can all have a role.
The aim is seasonal continuity, local suitability and habitat value — not simply colour.
