This video is part of the Honeylove.org Plants for Pollinators Series. Christy Wilhelmi of Gardenerd.com shows you which wildflowers to grow to attract pollinators to your garden. Bees love wildflowers, so grow what's native to your hardiness zone. Learn tips about what wildflowers to grow to encourage and feed bees and other pollinators in your garden. Wildflowers are easy to grow, most of the time you just scatter seeds before a rain comes and wait. They also re-seed themselves year after year, so the whole endeavor requires minimal effort. Wildflower seed blends are available through many native plant societies or seed catalogs. Just pick the varieties that grow well in your region. Try to select an area that is at least 3×3 feet to allow for ample foraging, and you’ll have beneficial insects visiting your garden all season long.
