Pacific Southwest Pollinator Mix

Our Pacific Southwest Pollinator Mix has been designed to provide optimum pollinator habitat along the coast from San Francisco to southern California. It contains some of the most valuable plants for bees, butterflies, birds, moths and other animal pollinators, and will provide an excellent nectar and pollen source during each season of the year. This mix contains both perennial and self-seeding annual species for multi-year productivity.
