As the weather continues to warm up, we’ll see more and more hungry pollinators. So here are three flowers to attract pollinators to your garden:
- Salvia — Salvia produces a plethora of pollen and nectar-rich blooms, which provide nutrients and energy for pollinators. And did you know that not all flowers produce both? Hydrangeas and roses don’t produce pollen, and many flowering types of grass don’t produce nectar.
- Pentas — Since Penta blooms create a small cluster, it’s actually the perfect landing pad for pollinators to stop, rest, and feed. Their bright colors are also very attractive for pollinators.
- Mexican Heather — This compact plant features an abundance of blooms, making it easy for pollinators to jump from one bloom to the next and quickly feed on its sweet, sweet nectar.
All three plants are perennials and need full sun.
