Spring Herbs for Pollinators
March 1, 2022
Discover how you can contribute to a greater population of pollinators by planting common and unusual herbs this spring. Many herbs are host plants for certain butterfly larva, and most of their flowers provide nectar for butterflies, bees, hummingbirds and other pollinators. Any landscape benefits from the addition of the texture and color these plants bring! People benefit, too, as they discover a new interest in spending time outside looking for eggs on leaves, and a wide variety of caterpillars and chrysalis, all before the beautiful butterflies emerge.
