Attract Pollinators With Our Specialty Pollinator Plants

TN Nursery offers a variety of specialty plants that you can use to encourage pollination in your garden and landscaping. Sweet alyssums stay low to the ground and bloom each year. Their small pink, white and purple flowers are well-known for attracting bees and butterflies. Canna lilies boast large banana-like leaves in several colors, ranging from green to blue to bronze. The tubular blooms, which come in shades of yellow, red and orange, are a summertime attraction for pollinators like hummingbirds.

Use Other Specialty Plants to Restore Natural Habitats

Cinnamon ferns have dense foliage that creates excellent shelter and natural habitats for small birds. These ferns bloom green upright fronds in early spring that turn a brownish color in the fall. The fan-like fronds and graceful leaves of maidenhair ferns provide a home for toads and lizards. Their reddish-hued leaves first appear in early May and last until November.
