SE Texas native plants help pollinators in every season
Native plants not only create an inviting habitat for pollinators, but native plants are also more resilient due to their pest resistance and drought tolerance. Native species can provide more nectar and pollen. Most of the native pollinator plants begin blooming in the spring and continue providing nectar throughout the summer. Lemon Bee Balm blooms well particularly in the summer. Red Salvia, Plains Coreopsis, Texas Frogfruit, and Fall Obedient Plants all bloom from spring through the fall.
