Self-Sufficiency and Preppers

[Sapphire]

Trying to help my mom get some good flowers in the yard to encourage butterflies, bees, and the light. All pollinators. As mentioned in another thread awhile back, I am going to attempt a garden over there to see if it does better. This is outside of my small indoor garden I am still working on and testing. I want to make sure their yard encourages the right wildlife to show up and I read the best way to do this is to start with flowers.

What flowers are best overall?

Just off the top of my head: sunflowers, cosmos, zinnias, chamomile, marigolds, dianthus, bee balm and borage. I'll probably come back later and drop some more good ones.
