Description

Our Bumblebee Burrow Native Plant Collection features native species and native cultivars for a pollinator-friendly, matrix-style planting. Repeat the collection to fill in larger spaces and grow more pollinator habitat. In the winter, queen bumblebees will burrow into bare soil to hibernate; in spring and summer, she’ll build a nest for the next generation of her bumblebee colony – typically in an undisturbed cavity area such as a stone wall or compost pile. To best support bumblebees and other pollinators, leave the leaves and spent flower stalks in your gardens to provide overwintering habitat, and avoid digging or clearing leaf litter until pollinators wake up, when soil temperature warms to over 55°F in spring.

Our Bumblebee Burrow Native Plant Collection includes 7 plants, covering roughly 40 sq ft:

3 x Prairie Dropseed Grass
1 x Dwarf Baptisia
1 x ‘Wood's Light Blue’ Aster
1 x Blunt Mountain Mint
1 x Mariachi™ 'Siesta' Helenium
