Pollinators

Why Are Pollinators
 Important?

 

Between 75% and 95% of all flowering plants on the earth need pollinators. 1 out of every 3 bites of food you eat is there because of pollinators. In addition to the food we eat, pollinators support healthy ecosystems that clean the air, stabilize soils, and support other life. 

These perennials will not only offer you a beautiful landscape, but entertainment as you watch honeybees gather nectar from bloom to bloom.
