Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds play a vital role in maintaining the health of our ecosystems. They are responsible for fertilizing plants by transferring pollen, which leads to the production of fruits, vegetables, and seeds. But not all flowers attract pollinators equally. If you’re looking to create a pollinator-friendly garden or boost biodiversity on your organic farm, choosing the right flowers is essential.
At BloomyBliss Organic Farm, we grow a wide range of pollinator-attracting flowers using 100% natural, chemical-free methods. Here’s everything you need to know about which flowers attract bees and butterflies — and how they support nature and your garden.
