About This Collection
Pollinator plants provide nectar, pollen, or habitat for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. About one-third of our food depends on pollinators, and gardens are critical habitat as wild landscapes shrink.
Choose a sunny spot, stagger bloom times from spring through fall, and mix flower shapes — flat-topped for butterflies, tubular for hummingbirds, open-faced for bees. Avoid pesticides and leave bare soil for ground-nesting bees.
