Pollinators love native wildflowers! When creating pollinator-friendly habitat, remember to only plant species that live naturally in your part of the country. Native plants should not require much maintenance once established and will provide for your native pollinators. Beware of seed mixes containing non-native species! Our guide will point you in the right direction when purchasing seeds and plants.

More plant species, more pollinators! An ideal pollinator-friendly habitat has several plant species that will bloom throughout the growing season. Therefore it is important to plant early, middle, and late blooming species. Also by planting flowers that vary in size, color, and shape you help ensure that a wider variety of pollinators can benefit from your habitat.

Planting the right species in the right place will make both the plant and its pollinators happy! When selecting your wildflowers, look for species that require the soil and sun conditions similar to where you plan on planting. In addition to the needs of the plant, ensure you are planting something that works with your wants and needs. For example, if you want a low flower then don't plant a species that gets really tall.
