Want a landscape that looks great and supports local wildlife? Planting for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds is a simple way to add color, movement, and purpose to your outdoor space, especially in Zone 6 Midwest climates.
What to Plant:
• Coneflower, black-eyed Susan, and milkw**d for bees and butterflies
• Salvia, bee balm, and lavender for long-lasting blooms
• Trumpet vine, columbine, and cardinal flower to attract hummingbirds
How to Plant for Success:
• Choose a variety of plants that bloom from spring through fall
• Group similar plants together to make them easier for pollinators to find
• Plant in sunny areas with well-drained soil
• Limit pesticide use to protect beneficial pollinators
A pollinator-friendly landscape not only enhances your property’s appearance but also supports a healthier ecosystem.
