The Beet: A Podcast For Plant Lovers

Powerful Native Plants for Wildlife

10 min • 15 juni 2022
There are lots of native plants and they all have attributes that have coevolved with wildlife. Powerful native plants are the 14% that actually support 90% of butterflies and moths in a given area. Specific powerful plants that we recommend are anything in the aster family, sunflowers, and goldenrod. What is wonderful is that they bloom at different times providing nectar and foraging opportunities across three seasons.
