What flowers should I plant at my cat’s grave that attract butterflies and bees?

I’m so sorry for your loss! For your cat's grave, I suggest planting flowers that bloom at various times throughout spring and summer. You could use bulbs as well as some ferns in the back for added shade or even some berry bushes. A nice idea is to place a big clay pot up front for cheerful annuals that you can swap out each summer. Also, you might want to think about planting some native wildflowers or a patch of catmint, which is easy to maintain but can spread, so just outline it nicely. A trellis for climbing plants like clematis could also work, and you could add touches like a bird bath or wind chime for charm! What do you think?

What a beautiful way to honor your cat! I have an Autumn Sage that I inherited; it’s a hardy perennial that blooms throughout the warmer months and is a hit with butterflies, bees, and even hummingbirds. It's managed well under my pecan tree, and all I do is add some mulch in the winter. It’s a great option if you're in zones 6-9 and comes in lovely colors too.

First off, my heart goes out to you during this time. Depending on your zone, which I don’t have the specifics on, a bee balm would be a lovely addition—bees can really get weighed down with pollen from it! If that's too deep for you to dig, cosmos is a great option too; they're beautiful and self-seed! They also attract butterflies and bees.

Catmint, bee balm, and even some milkweed would be wonderful! Also, cat whiskers could be a great addition—they're known to attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds!

Catnip and lavender could be perfect choices! Both are lovely and will bring in those butterflies, too. So sorry for your loss, and I hope planting these flowers brings you some comfort.
