Lilacs
Lilacs are a great flower to plant to attract pollinating bees. Different bees feel drawn to varying lilac colors, but all varieties will help bring in bees. There are some conflicting stories on the history of lilacs, but many sources say they originated in Iran. From there, they spread to Europe and then North America.
Depending on where you live, they can grow from shrubs into full trees.
Lavender
Lavender has been used for hundreds of years as a medicinal plant because it can help against stress and is often used for relaxation. You can trace the origin of lavender to ancient Greece, where women would weave wreaths out of lavender flowers to help with their headaches. In ancient Rome, they believed that the scent could ward off evil spirits, leading to modern-day uses as an air freshener or home fragrance.
