The variety of white dutch clover I have doesn't get very tall. I like creeping thyme as well. Both are low growing and attract bees.View attachment 4197329

Another one to plant! Thank you!

Another "flower" they really like is Malva zebrina. In the right climate it is a perennial. Here it acts like an annual. It reseeds prolifically. I now treat it as a weed in my garden.

Its blooms continue past mild frosts with the bees taking full advantage of the late blooms.

I need to find some seeds for this flower. It is IDEAL for me. Blooms continuously. And if it doesn't act as perennial, self reseeding is just fine. I can find a spot in my flower garden for them

ETA.. Just found a seller of seeds, and they are from Michigan, So they will work in my zone. Reasonably priced as well.
