Pollinators Pack
For those who want to help protect the pollinators. The plants in this selection have been specifically selected for their high nectar and pollen production. These plants once mature can feed a large number of insects, especially butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. This gives them the energy to increase their numbers while offering the grower the enjoyment of watching the butterflies and appreciating the flowers. Plants have been selected that flower at different times of the year so that nectar and pollen is available for the maximum amount of time. If planted in one section of a garden they can be enjoyed all year around then, cleared up by mowing the stalks down either at the end of the year or more helpfully in spring before the new shoots arise as this allows the insects to overwinter and increase their numbers. Little other work is needed unless you want to. This gives the garden owner more time as less mowing in needed and less emissions from the lawn mower are required. More Information
