What should I plant for the most pollinators?As much as possible! Okay, that’s not much of an answer.First, which kinds of pollinators do you want to attract?Hummingbirds – red tubular Penstemon and Acanthus flowers work great.Bees – sunflowers are your best bet.Butterflies and moths aren’t so picky, but you’ll want to provide host plants, like milkweed for Monarchs.Left: Male longhorn bees (genus Melissodes) shelter overnight on sunflowers (Helianthus)Right: Spiny goldenweed (Xanthisma spinulosum) volunteers in author’s yardWhere can I buy these plants?

Many native plants are dispersed by wind and birds and will grow on their own if given a chance.
