Perennial flowers like lavender, coneflowers, and bee balm attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Plant a variety of colors and shapes to create a vibrant pollinator paradise.
Choose native perennial flowers that bloom at different times to provide nectar throughout the seasons. Include milkweed for monarch butterflies and host plants for caterpillars.
Avoid using pesticides in your garden to protect pollinators. Provide water sources like birdbaths or shallow dishes with rocks for butterflies and bees to drink safely.
Create a layered garden with different heights of perennial flowers to attract a variety of pollinators. Add flowering shrubs and trees for additional food sources and nesting sites.
Maintain your pollinator paradise by deadheading flowers, removing weeds, and mulching to retain moisture. Consider creating a bee hotel or butterfly house for shelter and nesting.
Enjoy watching the pollinators visit your garden and pollinate your plants. Sit back, relax, and appreciate the beauty and benefits of creating a pollinator paradise with perennial flowers.
