Lavender – Fragrant and attractive to both dragonflies and people.
Bee Balm – Bold, nectar-rich blooms loved by pollinators.
Liatris (Blazing Star) – Tall purple spikes attract helpful insects.
Asters – Late-season blooms that keep dragonflies around longer.
How Much Should You Plant?
Mix and match plants that bloom throughout the seasons. Group them in clusters to make them easier for dragonflies and pollinators to find. Include a variety of heights and textures for a more welcoming space.
Final Thoughts
Dragonflies are beautiful and powerful allies in the fight against mosquitoes. By planting the right flowers and creating a welcoming habitat, you can enjoy a mosquito-free yard naturally—while supporting your local ecosystem.
Just add a little water, skip the pesticides, and let nature take care of the rest.
