Pollinator Patch Collection

Four flowers that keep something in bloom from June until the first hard frost.

Calendula, State Fair zinnias, Hopi Black Dye sunflowers, and bouquet dill — chosen so that something is always flowering and the bloom times overlap rather than stacking up in one big July flush. Dill and calendula pull in the small parasitic wasps that go after garden pests; the zinnias and sunflowers handle butterflies and bees. Enough seed for roughly a 50 square foot patch.

Where it comes from. Our own selection for overlapping bloom windows.
