Some bees collect pollen from them and some take the nectar. You can see the pollen on this bee's back legs. He stuffs it into "bags" and carries it with him until he gets back home.
Birds collect and eat the seeds and standing stalks with seed heads are a source of food in the winter.

I like very this flower and its color. I have no inmy garden but sometims i can see some in others gardens.
Schimmel means white horse or mould
and Pfennig = penny.
I do not understand the combination of Schimmel and Pfennig.
Schimmelpfenning. I don't know what else it means.
I like this flower, too, a lot. It certainly does a lot for the birds and the bees.
It would be nice if you could grow them. I think they will work in a pot on the patio but would have to check before making any investment. Your birds and bees would like it a lot.
