Native perennials that provide plenty of nectar and pollen include giant hyssop, coreopsis, larkspur, Joe-pye weed, blanket flower, sunflower, lupine, evening primrose, poppy, penstemon, salvia and sedum. Annual and biennial flowers like milkweed, spider flower, cosmos, poppy, mullein, daisy and verbena also draw pollinators. So do wild roses and blueberry bushes, raspberry bushes, elderberry and sumac, and nonnative herbs like lavender, mint, basil, marjoram, rosemary, borage and lantana.
