Attract Bees To Your Garden With This Gorgeous Flowering Plant
By DANIELLE RAMOS-SULLIVAN
There are various plants for pollinator gardens, including bee balm and aster, but the lesser-known Mexican hat plant can effortlessly attract bees with its vibrant flowers.
Mexican hat plants have distinct red petal rings resembling sombreros. They thrive in well-draining, moist soil with ample sunlight and are perfect for beginner gardeners.
The aromatic flowers of Mexican hat plants are teeming with sweet nectar and draw various pollinators such as bees, butterflies, wasps, beetles, and flies.
The Mexican hat plant offers more than just pollen-filled flowers; their dense leaves create a safe haven for pollinators, providing rest and protection.
Plant Mexican hats in sunny areas, complementing them with other pollinator-friendly plants like lavender, sunflowers, mint, or rosemary for a thriving, vibrant garden.
