Two Summer Perennials that Attract Pollinators

We’re all looking for beauty that comes back in your garden, like that provided by perennials. Learn about two summer perennials that attract pollinators in this P. Allen Smith video:

The black-eyed Susan is a well-known classic that’s ideal for pollinators, and a great companion to this flower is the beautiful Blue Fortune hyssop. Both of these are native North American plants that have been improved upon for more “flower power”, and they are natural attractors to pollinators and beneficial insects. If you cut back the dead blooms on both of these, they will actually re-bloom. Alternatively, if you decide to leave the seed heads on the black eyed Susan, when the frost comes, the seed heads provide food for overwintering birds. Lastly, both of these flowers can make beautiful bouquets for summer arrangements.
