When planting your garden of enchantments, bear in mind that
certain plants attract hummingbird, butterflies and fairies. The wee folk love
daisies, purple coneflower, French lavender, rosemary, thyme, yarrow, lilac,
cosmos, red valerian, sunflowers, honeysuckle and heliotrope. Folk wisdom
handed down through the centuries claims that pansies, blue columbine,
snapdragons planted in bed are a welcome mat for fairies and they can use
foxglove, which means “folk’s glove,” to make hats and clothing as well as
tulips for their haberdashery. They also favor sunny-faced nasturtiums. Fairies
are also quite attached to certain fruit trees with pear, cherry and apple as
their absolute favorites. The hawthorn is one of the most magical trees. It marks
the fairies’ favorite dancing places, and you should not cut or uproot a
hawthorn unless you wish to incur their wrath. Keep your eyes peeled
when these trees are in bloom as there are bound to be fairy folk about!
