Plants that attract Ladybugs

attract Ladybugs



Some types of female beetles produce several generations in a year, while others produce only one. If your garden does not provide enough insects to feed them, they will fly away in search of better food sources. Since the larvae still cannot fly, they will eat as much as they can until they are sticky.


To keep them there as much as possible, do not use pesticides. Other than killing the female beetles directly, if you kill their food source, they have no reason to stay.


Instead, get used to having a balance of "good" and "bad" pests in your garden. As long as things are under control you can all live together peacefully.


So don’t be afraid when you see prehistoric creatures on your plants. The ugly baby ladybug is definitely one of the good bugs.


While there are many plants that are good at painting Ladybox, here is a list of our favorite edible plants and ornamental species that will attract Ladybox to your garden:


Allis:

Complementary, sweet Allis (Lobularia meridima), usually held annually in zones 5 to 9, this short, spreading plant grows to 4 to 6 inches tall and 6 to 9 inches wide. Sweet Alyssum is a solar plant that likes good drainage but is easy to grow. White flowers are very popular.


Butterfly Weeds:

In addition to the butterfly magnet, the butterfly (Asclepius tuberose) attracts the ladybug with its magnificent orange flowers. Grow this perennial in full sunlight. It is 1 to 2.5 feet high and 1 to 1.5 feet wide. This is another plant that grows well, even in poor soil, and will survive until they are well-drained. It works best in zones 3 to 9.



Coriander:

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is an annual herb and is especially useful in Mexican recipes. Grow in partial shade. It grows to 6 to 10 inches tall and 4 to 10 inches wide. Coriander prefers fertile soil with good drainage and slightly acidic soil pH.


Fenugreek:

Anethum graveolens is a tall (18 to 40 inches), a lean plant that needs full sun. Since it has a long root, be sure to provide loose, well-drained soil for this annual herb that will not prevent it from anchoring deep below the ground surface. Dill is more than just pickles; It adds excellent flavor to fish dishes and more.


Parsley:

Spiral-leaved parsley (Petrocellinum crispum) is another edible herb, but it is two years old for zones 2 to 11, 12 to 18 inches high, and 9 to 12 inches wide. No-fuss about sunlight requirements (the full sun does nothing until partial shade), parsley prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil.


Dancy:

Daisy (Danacettum vulcare) can be grown in 3 to 9 zones, 2 to 4 feet tall, spreading 1 to 1.5 feet. This yellow-flowered perennial prefers full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. It does not care about the pH of the soil, which makes it a very adaptable plant. In some states, it is considered a harmful weed and should not be grown in a contagious state.4


Dixit:

Dixite (Choriopsis) is a perennial plant that grows to 4 to 9 zones, growing in partial shade and well-drained soil in full sun. It is 10 to 18 inches high and 12 to 24 inches wide. The flowers are yellow (like the famous C. vertigilla 'Moonbeam'), orange, pink and red; Some crops are dual in color.


Yarrow

Yarrow

 (Achillea millefolium) grows in 3 to 8 zones and reaches 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. A fragrant perennial, it is very valuable for its airy, fern-like evergreen and flat top flower heads. Crops are found growing along roadsides in colors (red, yellow, etc.) other than the usual white. Like dandelion, someone does not need to grow: full sun and well-drained soil are better, but it tolerates clay soil better than many plants and can withstand drought once established.
