Selecting and sourcing plants
Selecting a Location
- Most pollinator plants grow in full sun. Look for a location with 6-8 hours of sun per day. 然而,傍晚的太阳(最热的时候)会让人感到压力 some plants that require more moisture.
- 将同一物种的几种植物组合在一起,这样更吸引人,更容易除草和控制 传播(如果你选择这样做)和传粉者的喂养效率.
- 考虑靠近水源,特别是如果你从种子开始. Plants will 需要浇水,直到他们建立在最初的几个月,和小幼苗 need more frequent watering.
Selecting Plants for a Native Pollinator Garden

- Native to where? 为了传粉者和当地生态系统的利益,是最好的选择 is the most local. 如果你能买到田纳西本土的植物,那就太好了! Most often, your best bet is a U.S. Southeastern regional native.
-
- 一定要避免栽培品种,即选择性培育不同花朵的植物 颜色、大小或其他特征使它们与野生动物有很大的不同 cousins. (通常,你可以通过添加品种名称来识别品种,但是 not always, in single quotation marks like Baptisia australis ‘Sparkling Sapphires.’)
- Will you buy plants or seeds?
-
- Seeds can be a great bargain. 在好年景里,它们几乎不用担心就能茁壮成长. (After all, how did nature do it?)但是在没有雨水的时期,种子和幼苗 need to be kept moist by watering.
-
- 购买植物可以缩短支持性浇水的时间. Once established, 为栖息地精心挑选的植物几乎不需要任何努力就能茁壮成长.
-
- 本地种子和幼苗通常在本地植物群落中共享. Go 安排交换和其他活动,不要害怕提出要求. Most native gardeners love to share their bounty.
- Consider these factors when choosing plants
- Annual or perennial
- Height
- Sun requirements
- 土壤水分和浇水需求(干、湿、湿)
- Do you have deer resistance (less yummy)?
- 选择多种会给你授粉的食物和吸引人的花朵 the growing season. 挑选春天开花的植物和夏天开花的植物 and others for fall.
- Consider mature plant height and sun exposure. Place smaller plants in front so they will not be shaded by taller plants. In spacing plants, consider the eventual mature size of plants. It may take 2-4 years to reach maturity.
- Consider soil moisture. 选择喜欢干燥、潮湿或潮湿环境的植物 – whatever best suits your location.
- Plant availability. 不要爱上一种植物,直到你发现它是否可用 从一个有信誉的来源或当地园丁的朋友.
