Best Plants for Pollinators
Introduction
Have you ever wanted to attract more pollinators such as bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies to your garden? Our pollinator friends offer many benefits to your garden, such as the essential pollination of crops and flowers. Their presence also brings a garden to life with the buzz of activity. With animal pollination responsible for up to 90% of flowering plant reproduction, these agents of pollination are essential to a healthy and vibrant ecosystem in your garden.
Unfortunately, these helpful pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other insects, are facing declining populations due to habitat loss, pesticide exposure, and climate change. Fortunately, as gardeners, we can save our floral friends and enhance our gardens by planting pollinator-friendly plants. We have collected a list of the best pollinator-friendly perennials, annuals, trees, and shrubs that provide the nectar and pollen essential to a healthy pollinator population. Keep reading for our recommendations!
