NATIVE PLANTS


Non-native plants tend to be other favorite garden plants, that may be listed as “exotic” plants or hybrids. Incorporating some of these types can act as a supplement to the “natives”. Many hybrids are for looks only and do not provide the necessary pollen and nectar that bees need.
