Here is a smal list of flowers that I feel are good to flower, and are loved by bees, butterflies and the fairies.

Echium plantagineum "Blue Bedder": This plant is wonderfull to grow from seed, a master to flower with it blue striking flowers, attrackt bees really well. I have grown this myself and the bumble bees love it! This is an annual.

Fuchsia: This wonderfull plant is easy to grow from plug plants, they are also perennial. With wonderfull bell like flowers I would believe the fairies would love this plant, comes in many flower shapes and cultivars.

Hysoppus Officinalis: A wonderfull herb to grow from seed, pink, white and blue flowerd seeds exist. The plant can be used as a spice, but also as an alternative to Lavender for its apperance, as it also is quite hardy and forms a little bush with floweres on eatch branch. This plant can even flower first year from seed if sowed early.

Myosothis Sylvatica: This form for forget me not, can have pink, white and blue flowers, wonderfull compact plants, for me this one flowered second year from seed, but it was quite a show, I sowed pink flowered seed.
