FAQs
What are pollinator seeds?
Pollinator seeds are mixes of flower and plant seeds chosen to grow bright, nectar-rich blooms. These plants feed and support bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other birds and insects, providing a steady supply of nectar and pollen from spring through fall.
What are the best plants for bees?
Planting a mix of native perennials, herbs, and seasonal bloomers provides the best food sources for bees from spring through fall. Choose from perennial bee flower seeds including Coneflower, Bee Balm, and Black-Eyed Susans, and annuals such as Zinnias and sunflowers. Bee-friendly herb seed options include Lavender, Oregano, and Borage.
When is the best time to plant bee-friendly seeds?
The best time to plant bee-friendly seeds is in the spring (March through May) after the last frost, or in the late fall (October through November). Choose annuals or general wildflower mixes if you are planting seeds for bees in the spring. For fall bee seed planting, opt for perennials or native wildflower seeds.
