Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees and even bats and flies are all pollinators that feed off plants in your yard. So when you’re adding new flowers to your landscape, choose those that provide nectar and pollen for winged workers.
Remember, whatever attracts hummingbirds and butterflies will attract bees. Not just a few bees either. Scads of bees!
This year’s gold medal winners have all proven their worth and are ready to add beauty to Georgia’s landscapes.
