Plants for Pollinators

Wild bees and other pollinators are in decline. One way gardeners can help is by planting garden flowers that provide forage for a wide variety of pollinating insects, or by creating a wildflower lawn for pollinators to support them throughout the seasons. Using scientific evidence, extensive experience and the records of gardeners and beekeepers, the RHS have selected a range of year-round flowering Plants for Pollinators to tackle the decline in pollinator numbers. For gardeners growing summer-flowering shrubs, guidance on pruning buddleja butterfly bush can also support healthier blooms that attract pollinators year after year.
