High Nectar Natives
Happy National Pollinator Week!
Celebrate Texas pollinators by planting these high-nectar and pollen Texas natives! The nursery is loaded with amazing native options to choose from including native Milkwed, Autumn Sneezeweed, Lemon Beebalm, Giant Mississippi Penstemon, and Yellow Ironweed. These plants not only attract a variety of pollinators, but some also host specific butterflies and are of special value to native bees.

Pollinator Friendly Plants
Create a Pollinator Oasis!
Ever wonder what other plants you can add to your garden to attract pollinators? It’s good to have an assortment of not only plants in current bloom, but mixing those with plants that also bloom in fall and spring! Some of our current favorites include Arkansas Ironweed, Cosmos, Pentas, Coneflower, Joe Pye Weed and more!

Butterfly & Bee Houses
Give Your Busy Garden Guests a Home!
Bee houses and butterfly habitats are another great way to cater to our local pollinators. Bee houses in particular are a great way to provide nesting spaces for solitary bees such as mason bees and leaf-cutter bees!
