nectar plants

Nectar plants are flowering plants that produce nectar—a sweet fluid that attracts pollinators like bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other insects. This nectar serves as a valuable food source for these creatures, providing them with energy. In return, pollinators transfer pollen from one flower to another, helping plants reproduce. By planting nectar-rich flowers, gardeners can support local ecosystems, promote healthy pollinator populations, and enhance garden biodiversity. Examples include lavender, sunflowers, and coneflowers. Overall, nectar plants play a vital role in sustaining pollinators and ensuring the health of many ecosystems.
