Pollinator Garden Collection

The Pollinator Garden Collection is a great way to improve the production and overall health of your vegetable garden. Attract pollinators to improve vegetable harvests, and attract beneficial insects to reduce harmful ones and keep plants healthy. The Pollinator Garden Collection includes seven varieties of some of our favorite cut flowers to plant in the vegetable garden. These varieties perform great when grown as transplants in our heavy-duty seed starting trays, but may also be direct seeded into the garden. Many of the varieties in the collection, including the zinnias, can be cut and harvested several times throughout the warm-growing season. These varieties are heat tolerant and will grow until the first frost date in fall.
