‘Beneficials’ are flowers that attract good insects.  Varieties with umbrella-shaped clusters of small flowers such as dill, caraway, coriander, yarrow and Queen Anne’s lace and daisy-like flowers such as golden marguerite, sunflower and aster, will attract beneficial insects that will in turn help control pest insects.
