Perennials for Pollinators
Pollinator gardening is a blend of beauty and purpose. We handpick nectar-rich, long-blooming perennials—from Echinacea and Salvia to Agastache and Catmint—that draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds from spring through fall. These are proven performers with sturdy stems, saturated color, and excellent garden manners.
When you buy pollinator plants online from Garden Goods Direct, you get nursery-grown quality, clear spacing and care, and honest expectations about growth and bloom. Build your border in layers—early, mid, and late-season flowers—and your garden will hum with life, backed by our We Grow Together Promise.

Why Pollinator Plants Belong in Every Garden (Beauty with a Purpose)
Pollinators need reliable forage, and you want color that doesn’t quit—this collection delivers both. By mixing nectar and pollen sources across the season, you create a lively, resilient garden that also supports local ecology.
Season-Long Color Strategy (Early Spring to Frost)
Start strong with early bloomers, ride the summer wave with Echinacea, Salvia, Coreopsis, and Agastache, then finish with fall nectar sources to carry monarchs and native bees through migration. Staggered bloom means continuous color and continuous forage.
Forms & Textures That Pollinators—and People—Love
Combine upright spires (Salvia, Veronica), bold daisies (Echinacea, Rudbeckia), and airy clouds (Gaura, Coreopsis) for movement and contrast. Silver foliage and aromatic oils add drought toughness and natural deer resistance without sacrificing bloom density.
Planting Made Easy (Spacing, Watering & Low-Care Wins)
Site in full sun with good drainage, follow on-center spacing for airflow, and water deeply the first season. Most selections become low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established—deadhead to extend bloom and cut back in late winter for a fresh flush.
