Collection: Pollinator Plants for Sale

Pollinator plants shipped as live, established plants — ready to go in the ground and start attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

The most effective pollinator gardens work because they offer something in bloom from spring through fall — a continuous nectar source that keeps bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects coming back. Our selection includes proven pollinator favorites: lavender and yarrow for early-season bees, coneflowers and black-eyed susans for butterflies and goldfinches, and long-blooming annuals that carry color and nectar through the end of the season. Every plant ships as a live, established plant ready to perform.

FAQs

What are the best plants for bees and butterflies?

Lavender, yarrow, and coneflowers are consistently among the top plants for bees and butterflies. Lavender draws bees from the moment it opens; yarrow's flat-topped clusters attract a wide range of pollinators; coneflowers feed both butterflies and goldfinches, especially when the seed heads are left standing. Browse our full selection above for what's currently available.

Do pollinator plants need full sun?

Most of the best pollinator plants — lavender, yarrow, coneflower, black-eyed susan — prefer full sun (6+ hours per day). There are excellent shade-tolerant pollinator plants as well, including columbine, which is exceptional for hummingbirds. Check individual plant listings for light requirements.

Are pollinator plants perennial?

Many of the best pollinator plants are perennial — lavender, yarrow, coneflower, black-eyed susan, and columbine all return year after year. We also carry long-blooming annual pollinator favorites that fill the gaps between perennial bloom windows and extend the season's nectar supply.

Do hummingbirds count as pollinators?

Yes — hummingbirds are effective pollinators, particularly for tubular flowers like columbine, salvia, and honeysuckle that are too deep for most bees. If you're building a garden for hummingbirds specifically, look for long, tubular flowers in red and orange tones, which hummingbirds are especially drawn to.
