10 Plants Bees and Butterflies Love
Support pollinators while creating a vibrant, buzzing garden paradise

June is National Pollinator Month, and here at Bru-Mar Gardens, we’re all about celebrating the bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds that help our gardens grow. These hardworking pollinators are essential for our food supply, healthy ecosystems, and beautiful blooms—yet they’re facing increasing threats from habitat loss and pesticides.

The good news? You can make a big difference by planting a pollinator-friendly garden. And we’ve got just the plants to help you do it!

🐝 Why Pollinators Matter

Pollinators like bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and moths transfer pollen from flower to flower, helping plants produce fruit, seeds, and more flowers. Without them, many of our favorite foods—think tomatoes, berries, and apples—would disappear. Creating a pollinator-friendly garden is a simple, beautiful way to support biodiversity and sustainability right in your own backyard.

🌸 10 Pollinator Favorites You’ll Find at Bru-Mar Gardens

Here are just a few of the buzzing best-sellers in stock this month:

  1. Echinacea (Coneflower) – A butterfly magnet that thrives in full sun and blooms for months.

  2. Milkweed (Asclepias) – Monarchs’ favorite host plant and a native garden essential.

  3. Bee Balm (Monarda) – Hummingbirds love it, and its spicy scent deters deer.

  4. Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia) – Cheerful, golden blooms that bees can’t resist.

  5. Lavender – Fragrant, drought-tolerant, and beloved by bees.

  6. Yarrow (Achillea) – Flat-topped blooms offer easy landing pads for pollinators.

  7. Liatris (Blazing Star) – Spikes of purple that draw in butterflies from miles away.

  8. Catmint (Nepeta) – Long-blooming, low-maintenance, and buzzing with bee activity.

  9. Coreopsis – A bright, native bloomer with nectar-rich flowers.

  10. Agastache (Hyssop) – Scented blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds alike.

Many of these are available in native plant selections and grown with organic practices in mind—just another way Bru-Mar Gardens supports eco-conscious gardening in Zone 7b.
