- Lavender
- Sunflowers
- Coneflowers (Echinacea)

**2. Soil Preparation:**
- Ensure the soil is well-draining and rich in organic matter. Amend the soil with compost before planting.

**3. Planting:**
- **Timing:** Follow the recommended planting times for each flower species, as they may vary. Many flowers can be sown directly in the garden after the last frost.
- **Spacing:** Plant according to the spacing recommendations for each specific flower. Consider the height and spread of the mature plants.

**4. Sunlight:**
- Most flowering plants prefer full sunlight. Choose a sunny location for your butterfly and bee-friendly flower bed.

**5. Watering:**
- Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage.

**6. Mulching:**
- Apply organic mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

**7. Fertilization:**
- Organic fertilizers, such as compost or well-rotted manure, can be applied before planting. Additional fertilization may be needed depending on the specific requirements of each flower.

**8. Companion Planting:**
- Consider companion planting to enhance the overall health of your garden. Some flowers may have beneficial effects on neighboring plants.

**9. Pest Control:**
- Monitor for pests and use organic pest control methods such as neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary. Beneficial insects attracted to the flowers can also help control pests.

**10. Disease Prevention:**
- Good garden hygiene, proper spacing, and good air circulation can help prevent diseases.

**11. Deadheading:**
- Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and to prevent the plants from putting energy into seed production.

**12. Attracting Butterflies and Bees:**
- Provide a water source, such as a shallow dish with stones, for butterflies. Avoid using pesticides, as they can harm beneficial insects.

**13. Enjoying the Garden:**
- Spend time observing and enjoying the variety of butterflies and bees that visit your garden.

**14. Organic Certification:**
- If you wish to officially label your Tübinger Butterfly and Bees-friendly flower mixture as organic, follow the guidelines and requirements set by your local organic certification body.
