I ended up going back to the tried and true pollinator favorites-- echinacea, monarda, yarrow, rudbeckia, and so forth. I also had a few favorite shrubs and trees in MD that I purchased for here-- dogwood, lilac, and ninebark. This year I focused more on bulbs that have no pollinator value but i like to look at them lol-- like daffodils and tulips. I also have gotten several seed packets for favorites of mine like tricolor viola, borage, zinnias, cosmos, and poppies. well, fingers crossed!
what have you been planting? where in northern california are you located? (my apologies if you told me this somewhere else and I have forgotten!)
