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 about Fairy Flora has been handed down through the centuries telling that pansies, blue columbine, snapdragons planted in bed are a welcome mat for fairies. These special guests a can use foxglove, which means “folk’s glove,” to make hats, linens 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. Apple trees also appeal as does the one in my own back yard.
