We need to know which direction your garden faces - and whether it is in a lot of shade from trees or buildings.

Also the part of the country you live in - near the sea, on chalk and so on.

It's bees that take nectar from flowers, not wasps and they usually leave you alone if you don't bother them.


Wasps are a pain, they go for fruit, and picnics, and are aggressive but not flowers

A couple of choises that grow more or less anywhere that may suite your criteria are- Buddleia, its commomly called the butterfly bush, which will be the main visitor, lots of varieties for you to choose from, my favorite is 'black knight'. Ceanothus or Californian Lilac has lovely blue flowers, really stunning! If you can provide a fairly sunny spot with a bit of shelter both should do well. All the Best.
