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.

Also, don’t kill all the “weeds” in your yard. Many native plants are dispersed by wind and birds and will grow on their own if given a chance.
