Just remember - insects need native plants to complete their life cycles. This one would be for GB but I assume there are localised ones, especially for USA https://dbif.brc.ac.uk/background.aspx
Yes! Native plants that have co-evolved with your local insects and birds are the ideal.
I get a little frustrated with No Mow May that runs in Canada. People get obsessed with the idea that dandelions are a bee’s first food and we must leave them. I suppose they are better than pesticide-laden grass, but dandelions are a European import. What bees really need is native early bloomers - in my area, that’s serviceberry, spicebush, pasque flower, violets, etc.
For Canada and the US, the Xerces society has these lovely native plant guides to help with ideal plant choices for your region
