Dragonfly & Purple Salvia: A Match Made in the Garden!
There’s something magical about watching a dragonfly land on a spire of violet salvia—like nature’s own fairy tale!
These shimmering winged visitors aren’t just pretty to look at; they’re expert pest controllers, snacking on mosquitoes and gnats while pollinating your garden.
Why Dragonflies Love Purple Salvia:
Perfect Perch – Tall, sturdy blooms make ideal landing pads.
Bug Buffet – Attracts smaller insects for dragonflies to hunt.
Drought-Friendly – Salvia’s hardiness means less fuss, more blooms!
How to Invite Them Over:
Plant in clusters – Dragonflies spot salvia easily in groups.
Add a water source – A small pond or birdbath keeps them nearby.
Skip the chemicals – Let these natural predators thrive!
Fun fact: Dragonflies can fly up to 30 mph—making them the jets of the insect world!
