CONTAINER TIPS
Don’t forget to water!
Container gardens will dry out faster than landscape plantings, so water more frequently to keep the soil evenly moist. Self-watering containers save time and are handy if you are away during the summer. Simply keep the water-holding reservoirs at capacity and your plants will be watered as needed.
Sun vs. shade
Take into account the sun (or shade) you have to offer when purchasing plants for your pollinator containers.
Vary the height
In addition to a large selection of flower colours and textures, pollinators are attracted to blooms at varying heights. Place your containers on decorative plant stands to elevate containers for a pleasing design.
