Pollinator Series: Native Plants and the Pollinators They Attract

Pollinators have evolved with native plants, and most pollinators feed on specific plant species. Hummingbirds tend to favor long, tubular flowers, while short-tongued bees prefer more open-faced flowers. Learn how you can attract and support a maximum diversity of pollinators in your landscape by carefully selecting native plants that serve a variety of pollinating insect and animal needs.
