Transforming your sunny urban planter boxes into pollinator havens is a rewarding way to support local ecosystems. The key is selecting plants that offer abundant nectar and pollen. For a vibrant display, consider these top performers. Coneflowers (Echinacea) and Black-Eyed Susans (Rudbeckia) provide sturdy landing pads and rich nectar for butterflies. Herbs like Lavender, Rosemary, and Basil are fantastic dual-purpose plants, attracting bees while offering culinary uses. For continuous bloom, incorporate long-flowering annuals such as Zinnias, Marigolds, and Cosmos. Don't forget trailing plants like Creeping Thyme or Nasturtiums to soften the edges. Group plants in clusters of the same species to create a bold "target" for pollinators. Ensure your boxes have good drainage and water regularly, as containers dry out quickly. Avoid pesticides, and opt for organic soil to keep your tiny visitors safe. With these choices, you'll enjoy a lively, colorful, and ecologically beneficial urban garden all season long.
