An English friend who has lived in New Zealand ( south Island ) many many

he needs to grow some flowers to attract flying creatures into his poly
tunnels, there seems to be a shortage of bees butterfly's etc..over there
too,
I thought that I could send him some seed but need advice as to the best

Eupatorium, Cimicifuga, Lavender, Bergenia. There was a discussion here

him or to you. http://www.bumblebee.org/flowerlist.htm
