Beneficial Insect Garden Seed Collection Gift Set (6 varieties for the price of 5)

This seed collection encompasses some of the most beneficial insect attracting plants I have grown in my garden. They attract the good insects which help control and naturally reduce common bad insects. I plant these varieties all over my garden, mixed into my veggie crops. This is a great gift idea for new or experienced gardeners, alike. The seeds are packaged together in a beautiful printed A6 envelope so it is ready to be gifted (see first photo). By purchasing this pack, your getting a discount at 6 packs of different varieties for the price of 5.

INCLUDED IN THIS SEED COLLECTION

1. Agastache Korean Mint- Flowers are rich in nectar and attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It repels white cabbage flies that affect several members of the brassicas family including broccoli, and cabbage.

2. Borage- Flowers are a bee magnet and are also edible. It attracts common green lacewings to the garden as they like to eat the leaves. It is also said to repeal tomato horn worms and cabbage moths.

3. Fennel - This is a host plant for Black Swallowtail butterflies. The flowers bloom for a long period of time and also contain a lot of nectar which attracts nectar eating beneficial insects. Also, a lot of beneficial insects like to lay their eggs in frilly and delicate leaves, just like those produced by fennel (it helps protect their eggs from predators). Fennel attracts hoverflies and parasitic wasps.

4. Sparky Mix Marigolds - Research has proved that French type marigolds help repeal bad nematodes. The roots secret a chemical that kills bad nematodes if they decide to ingest it. Plant tons of French marigolds near nematode sensitive crops, such as anything in the night shade family (tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes etc...). Since marigolds get very bushy and tall, I like to cut them down a few times during the growing season and use the biomass for composting. Or I lay the leaves and branches in a layer over the surface of the soil to act like a mulch.

5. Henry Wilde Sunflowers - This is a multi branching sunflower, meaning each stalk will bloom several heads. Sunflowers are a magnet for bees, beneficial insects, and also attract stink bugs to help lure them away from veggie crops.

6. Italian Sweet Basil- Bees love basil flowers and its herbal scent repels a lot of bad insects. I plant basil all over my garden and in between veggie crops.
