The Best Bulbs To Plant In Fall To Attract Pollinators In The Spring
By JAHAIRA ARTHUR
Wild Daffodils
Butterflies and bees are fond of wild daffodils. While these vibrant flowers are low-maintenance, they need partial to full sun and well-drained soil to flourish.
Botanical Tulips
Botanical tulips are great for attracting bees and hoverflies. However, exercise caution while planting them as they may irritate your skin and are toxic to pets.
Grape Hyacinths
Grape hyacinths are low-maintenance and last longer. Plant these perennials in rock gardens or down walkways to benefit pollinators while decorating your yard.
Ornamental Onions
Ornamental onions have a smell that some wildlife finds pungent. These plants are great for repelling deer and rabbits and attracting bees and butterflies.
Snow Crocus
Snow Crocuses are a favorite for foraging, bumble, and solitary bees. However, according to the ASPCA, if ingested, these flowers can make your pets sick.
