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!
