This weekend I managed to sow some seeds and it was all about pollinators and building the pollinator garden. I used the winter sowing in milk jugs system which works great for me, so hopefully I’ll have perennials to attract bees and butterflies to my habitat garden. All of these are very easy to grow from seed and will attract butterflies and bees to a backyard. Growing perennials from seed is great, it mean you can plant in mass without spending a lot of money.

A few thing I was able to get in are:

Firey Skipper on Black Eyed Susan

Joe Pye Weed

 Joe Pye Weed is a bit more difficult to get started but well worth the effort. It’s a pollinator magnet.

Gaillardia
