Transform your garden into a thriving habitat for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds with our carefully curated Pollinator Garden Collection. This thoughtfully assembled kit includes 10 native wildflowers specifically chosen for their exceptional value to pollinators throughout the growing season.
Each plant in this collection is native to the Appalachian region and provides nectar, pollen, or host plant resources for native insects and birds. By planting these species together, you'll create a diverse ecosystem that supports hundreds of beneficial species while enjoying months of beautiful blooms.

This collection is designed with both ecology and aesthetics in mind. The species bloom in succession from late spring through fall, ensuring continuous food sources for pollinators. The varying heights create a layered, naturalistic look, while the diverse flower shapes attract different pollinator species - from tiny native bees to large swallowtail butterflies.
Several plants in this collection, including Butterfly Weed and Joe Pye Weed, are host plants for butterfly larvae. This means you'll not only attract adult butterflies with nectar but also support the next generation by providing food for caterpillars.
All plants are grown from local seed sources when possible, ensuring they're adapted to regional conditions and genetics match local populations.
