Bee Friendly Perennial Flowers

Feed the bees with nectar-filled flowers

Bee-friendly gardens support local pollinators with flowers that provide plenty of nectar throughout the entire gardening season - from spring to late fall. Bee’s are able to smell and detect nectar with a high concentration of sugar and these flowers fit the bill perfectly. Color looks completely different through the eyes of a bee who can see white, yellow, blue and even UV colors. We've carefully chosen our top picks for attracting bees to your flower garden - plant any of them close to your veggie garden to ensure good pollination!
