I’ve just read a blogpost about how even plants sold with a ‘Good for Pollinators’ label could still be harmful. This is because they may have been grown with insecticides which kill the pollinators they have attracted. In other words, ‘Good for luring pollinators to their deaths’ might be a more appropriate label in some cases.
Fortunately, all the flowers currently in my garden are either from organic seed or cuttings from friends and family who won’t be using chemicals. So, I can admire this year’s show of soapwort without worry.
If you are interested in knowing more, I gained the inspiration for this post from: 30 Days of Wild Parenting.
Growing out of chaos 
You have reminded me that there used to be a clump of soapwort in my garden – I wonder where it went?
Smothered by something else? I had one in the front garden but it hasn’t come to anything – probably because of the competition from the Red Campion.
Could be. I will go and look for it!
Fingers crossed you find it!
An apt warning
Indeed!
Good point.
Thank you!
I never thought about that. My own garden is free of chemicals but I’ve been buying plants thinking the bees etc will like them and never thinking the plants might have been grown using insecticides, which could kill the insects. Maybe growing more by seed is the answer.
Growing from seed could be cheaper as well😊 I wonder if hostas can be grown from seed at home 🤔
