Author Garden: The Fae, Flowers and Gardens Mizz Mo Garden Helper Member # 4433 posted                       This subject was recently brought up during a previous post. Does anyone here have faery gardens, and what are some of the ideas you have about building them? I know this is a great project to do with your kids, or for the believer. I found a site that has some fae lore, along with some of the plants that they like. Here's a short list of plants that attract faeries to your garden: Common yarrow, Achillea millefolium New York aster, Aster novi-belgii Shasta daisy, Chrysanthemum maximum Western giant hyssop or horsemint, Agastache occidentalis French lavender, Lavendula dentata Rosemary, Rosemarinus officinalis Thyme, Thymus Fountain butterfly bush, Buddleia alternifolia Orange-eye butterfly bush, summer lilac, Buddleia davidii Shrubby cinquefoil, Potentilla fruitiosa Common garden petunia, Petunia hybrida Verbenas, vervains, Verbena Pincushion flowers, Scabiosa caucasica Cosmos, Cosmos bipinnatus Common zinnia, Zinnia elegans They also love the following plants and trees: foxglove, primrose, ragwort, cowslips, pansies, bluebells, clover (3-leaf, not 4-leaf), St. John's wort, hazel, rowan, blackthorn, oak, willow, elder, birch, alder, apple, ash, and especially toadstools.
