As someone who has installed dozens of native pollinator gardens I can tell you that bee balm (monarda) is probably the best pollinator plant as it can thrive in any conditions and is like candy to bumblebees

@cbryce9243 2 года назад

Thanks!

@whatsup848 2 года назад

I love bee balm but in humid areas like mine powdery mildew is a battle.

@tannenbaumgirl3100 2 года назад

Powdery mildew is an issue, but its not bothered by it too much. It also prefers moist soils and spreads vigorously underground rhizomatically....its in the mint family, and we all know how mint spreads!

@Kneenibble 2 года назад

Which monarda?

@mattjasuncion 2 года назад

I've volunteered with a group called the Yarrow Society for Intergenerational Justice up in Vancouver's Chinatown, so it's awesome to learn more about the plant that gave it its name :)

@wolfsbane1991 Год назад

Here in Scandinavia, yarrow is by many considered a weed due to it's extensive growth and it's tendency to overtake the lawn grass. I never planted any but have many growing in my garden as normal "weeds" throughout - i keep most of them and only remove the ones where I don't like their placement. I am very lucky to have the rare, soft pink kind! They are stunning and I love looking at them.

@wordsbymaribeja1470 2 года назад

I've also just started to grow Yarrow this year for medicinal purposes , I've got about 7 plants in 5 small pots, I've got the leaves but imagine I'll need to put in ground or a much larger pot to see any flowers.

@DreadlockPatriot 2 года назад

@@wordsbymaribeja1470 If you’re growing from seed they won’t flower in the first year, so that’s totally normal. I transplanted some wild yarrow from the forests around my house and started some from seed. The ones I started from seed have not flowered either 😊

@dorkthrone 2 года назад

So it's pretty wild for me personally that this video came out when it did. I was visiting a friend in an Alaska Native village way off the road system. My friend was showing me some of the plants that have value as traditional medicines. She showed me the yarrow plant and told me its frequently dried and used as a fever reducer, but she couldn't recall the English word. So while I only learned the Sugt'stun word, I decided it would be fun to grow. Thanks for helping me out!

Another benefit if you live near the Gulf Coast - plant them to get morning sun and the anoles will gather on the flowers at daybreak to warm up - and get a snack! I always plant them near pest-prone plants for this reason.

@auraelgin4774 2 года назад

In my garden I added Yarrow to my Daisy bed, ox-eye, heliopsis and conflowers a mix up of many perennial daisy look flowers, the yarrow was vigorous and over 3-4 years just as the daisy petal flowers were taking off the yarrow took over. It was invasive and crowded out the perennials... over time I mowed the bed over and it became lawn again... the yarrow put matte carpet over that area of the lawn. I will not plant yarrow again in a border. I like the umbrel shape but may look for other plants not so vigorous. Even the weedy Queen Anne's Lace is not that invasive, and I love the look of that.

@clb50 2 года назад

Yes, it's pretty aggressive for sure. Has spread all over our acreage.

@bustedkeaton 2 года назад

Try sticking them in pots and burying the pots at ground level

@heycrisper 2 года назад

Yes! One of the few plants I planted this year, along with feverfew and its a new favourite! We’ve always had it growing in our lawn naturally. It’s a nice option for lawn cover too as it mows down well and comes back! Stays green too even in a drought.

YESSSSS, You know exactly how excited about this I am 😅. Wonderful concept in whole, ornamentals to improve edible pollination and beneficials, but really just the perfect plant to fill the role. So so good! The standard white is a staple, but I really like the moonshine (yellow on grey) and the red on greens. Pinks are great in mixed planters with purples and yellows too.
