About this fact sheet

The beauty and functionality of native Australian wildflowers.

Native Australian wildflowers produce significant pollen for insects, including bees, and are sought after by a multitude of insect species, with lacewing and spider populations notably higher in rows of wildflowers in comparison to the adjacent field. By providing habitat for predatory arthropods, this will act as a natural control mechanism for managing economically damaging insect pests.
