Shape and form

Nature has a vast range of pattern and form to choose from. Contrasting flower shapes draw the eye and target specific pollinators based on the insect's tongue length, body size, and flying habits. Incorporating diverse flower structures ensures your garden will support a wide variety of beneficial insects which help to keep the garden pest and disease free. The stunning spherical blue flower heads of Echinops or globe thistle, is a superfood supermarket for bees and butterflies - offering a massive amount of nectar in a small space and allowing many insects to eat at the same time. Flowers with tubular flowers like Foxgloves and Salvia have long, narrow tubes that store nectar deep at the base and restrict access to insects, one at a time, with specialized elongated mouthparts.
