Pollinator Plants
Pollinator plants are flowering plants that attract and support pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These plants provide essential nectar and pollen, which are vital food sources for these creatures. By planting a variety of pollinator plants, gardeners can create habitats that encourage pollinator activity and promote biodiversity.
Common examples of pollinator plants include lavender, sunflowers, and milkweed. These plants bloom at different times throughout the growing season, ensuring a continuous food supply for pollinators. Supporting pollinator plants is crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems, as pollinators play a key role in the reproduction of many flowering plants and the production of fruits and vegetables.
