Your gardens are so beautiful. We had two solid months of record heat that really beat my yard down. It has been a strugglle just keeping my yard alive. The best plants I grow for polinators are my Salvia and Liatris. Many of my Liatris died because of the heat and the blooms only lasted about two weeks on the few that did survive. Maybe next year will fare better. keep up the good work.
I understand your pain. The past two summers were hot and dry in MN. However, this year has been so mild and wet. The flowers exploded! Hopefully next summer will bring you some milder weather.
@@davethebutterflyguy9841 I hope so as well. This has been the hottest summer on record in Southern Idaho. It's very stressful in so many ways but I'll keep plugging along on my gardens anyway.
I have had Lantana in the past. I believe it is an annual. I just didn't get around to planting it this year. However, I appreciate your reminder and I have a note for next Spring!

One of my top perennial nectar plants in my zone. Along with purple top verbena, vitex, butterfly bush, agastache, cat mint, and wild marjoram.
Thank you so much! It’s always great to see which flowers. The pollinators are truly going to in real life gardens.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate your feedback!
Wow that meadow liatris is amazing! 😁
Meadow Liatris is crazy. Monarchs congregate to it like no other flower!
cheers from Australia

Not sure where you are, but LANTANA is a great pollinator plant.
