“Unlike most pesky bugs that you want to purge from your garden, ladybugs live up to their cute little name.
They pose no harm and are actually beneficial to your plants by feasting on a few of your plant’s nemeses such as aphids, mealybugs, leaf hoppers, scales and mites.
Along with insects, ladybugs also look for pollen for a food source, so there are numerous plants you can grow to help attract them. Flowers and herbs such as cilantro, dill, fennel, caraway, yarrow, tansy, angelica, scented geraniums, coreopsis and cosmos are good choices for luring the ladybug.
If you’re still having trouble attracting the little buggers into your garden, you might want to consider buying ladybugs to release in your garden. Yes, most specialty garden stores carry them, or you can easily order them online…”
