Dry Sun Habitat Pack (dry/average soil, full sun)
This habitat pack includes 15 quart-sized plants chosen for their amazing ability to attract pollinators and beneficial insects such as butterflies, bees, and more.
This plant selection is based on the Limestone/Dolostone Woodlands and Barrens plant community.
Plant these in a sunny patch and get ready to meet your tiniest neighbors! This pack of plants tolerates drought. The height of these plants are appropriate for a garden (3-5 feet or shorter). It is best to let these plants mix as they will naturally want to seed off and plant themselves in new spots.
*This pack includes all of the POLLINATOR GARDEN species plus more. It will have a greater number of species (more diversity). Choose the POLLINATOR GARDEN pack if you want something more controlled and designed (with 5-7 species rather than 8-12).
15 plants (one flat of quarts) will cover about 30 square feet of ground at a high-density level. Denser plantings means fewer weeds. Most of these plants will spread by seed or by rhizomes, so each year you can continue to expand your pollinator habitat.
