Nursery Directory and Bee Friendly Plant List
This is the answer to a question I had from the audience last night:
Q: What native plants should I put in my yard that can withstand our hotter summers, and provide a high level of pollen and nectar for the pollinators?
1. Echinacea
2. Black-eyed Susan
3. Aster
4. Lupine
5. Alpine columbine
6. Hardy fuchsia
7. Penstemon
8. Sedums
9. California Poppy (they grow by the roadside with little to no water!)
10. Goldenrod
