    What is the best flower to plant in my garden? I like all colours, would love it to be easy to manage.

    I have a beehive nearby, so would also like it to be good for bees.

    Flower as opposed to flowers? No one flower meets every need or suits every situation. What area, situation etc would help.

    As Jim says, there is no instant answer, it depends on lots of things. However cornflowers and snapdragons are both easy, not fussy, and will come back next year - though the snapdragons mostly self seed, the plants will last a couple of years. Bees like both, and watching bees go into snapdragons is an entertainment in itself.

    Bees love lavender.
