Hi, I know most purple flowers do attract bees, but we are hoping to find a perennial purple flower that does not attract bees for our new backyard, since my son has a serious bee allergy. I was told some that do not as strongly attract include hydrangea (but needs shade), Mexican sage, society garlic. Any thoughts on these or others? Thank you!

Welcome to the forum @newgardenerSD . I don`t think you`ll find much purple - it is a favourite colour for bees. Try an all red garden with a few nice cucumber plants in between - they cannot see the colour red, and they detest cucumbers ;)
