Everything you need to attract pollinators is included in this kit.
Once the plugs are planted and start establishing, you'll have blooms all season, beginning with the violets in March all the way through to October with the stunningly beautiful New York Ironweed.
The numbers in this kit assume a garden of approximately 100 square feet arranged in any shape. You can curve it along a walkway or go for a rectangle. Since most of these plants do well in part shade, you can also align it along a wood's edge as long as the plants get six hours of sun a day.
You might also want to plant it near a patio. Try sipping coffee while watching the butterflies and hummingbirds dive for nectar. Add a water source, such as a birdbath--perfect!
To Attract Pollinators
Our pollinator kit is a perfect way to start a native garden in a sunny or partly sunny part of the yard.
You'll need about 100 square feet of space, preferably good, humussy soil. There are 50 plants in this kit, and they are all 4 inch plugs.
