Make a massive impact for local wildlife with the Bulk Hummingbird Garden.

By ordering this collection, you will receive four 32-plant trays (128 plants total) featuring three powerhouse native species designed to create a continuous nectar supply and a thriving habitat. This selection includes Swamp Milkweed (64 plants), Great Blue Lobelia (32 plants), and Foxglove Beardtongue (32 plants).

Designed to bloom across multiple seasons, this collection offers brightly colored, tubular flowers that act as a "welcome mat" for hummingbirds. From the early white blooms of the Foxglove Beardtongue (Penstemon digitalis) to the mid-summer pinks of Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) and the late-season deep blues of Great Blue Lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), you will provide essential energy for hummingbirds and habitat for butterflies throughout the growing season.

Key Features:

• Continuous Nectar Supply: A curated mix of early, mid, and late-season bloomers ensures hummingbirds have a reliable food source from spring through fall.
• Hummingbird Haven: Features tubular flowers specifically shaped to accommodate the long beaks of hummingbirds, providing them with easy access to high-energy nectar.
• Pollinator Support: In addition to hummingbirds, these plants support native bees and butterflies. The included Swamp Milkweed also serves as a critical host plant for Monarch butterfly caterpillars.
• Deer Resistant: These species are generally unappealing to deer, helping your garden establish without heavy browsing pressure.
• Pollinator Safe: Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids, promoting a healthy ecosystem for pollinators and wildlife.

Why Choose the Bulk Hummingbird Garden?

The Bulk Hummingbird Garden is the most efficient way to establish a large-scale pollinator paradise. Planting in large drifts (grouping plants of the same species together) is the most effective way to attract pollinators, as it allows them to forage efficiently without expending unnecessary energy. This collection provides enough plants to fill a large border, a meadow restoration project, or a dedicated wildlife viewing area. By choosing this bulk set, you are not just planting a garden; you are restoring biodiversity and creating a sanctuary that returns year after year with minimal care

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Prefers full sun to part shade. These species thrive in average to moist soils, making them excellent candidates for rain gardens or areas that retain some moisture.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, these native plants require less supplemental water.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
