Plant a Vibrant Pollinator Garden in the Northeast

Creating a pollinator-friendly garden is one of the best ways to support bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. With the right mix of wildflowers and blooms, you can attract pollinators all season long. In the Northeast, gardeners face unique conditions – from shady woodlands to full-sun meadows. Luckily, there are wildflower seed mixes and flower varieties tailored for every niche in your landscape.

Wildflower Mixes for Northeast Pollinators

For gardeners in the Northeast, a regional wildflower blend is a smart starting point. The Northeast Pollinator Wildflower Mix is specifically designed for our climate and native pollinators. It provides blooms from summer through fall, ensuring a continuous nectar source.

Brightening Up the Shade

If your garden has shady areas or partial sunlight, try planting Forget-Me-Nots, which are known to thrive in lower-light conditions and provide early color that attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Annual vs. Perennial Wildflower Mixes

Annual Wildflower Mix gives you quick color and a full bloom season in just one year. Perennial Wildflower Mix offers lasting returns year after year with hardy native blooms.

Sunflowers: From Giant to Dwarf

• Mammoth Sunflower – classic towering sunflowers reaching 6–9 feet tall
• Dwarf Sunspot – compact 3-foot sunflowers perfect for containers
• Autumn Beauty – branching sunflowers with red, orange, and gold tones

Easy-Grow Zinnias for Butterflies

Zinnias are easy to grow and adored by butterflies. For containers or borders, try Lilliput Zinnias. For big blooms, plant California Giant Zinnias.
