Description

King’s Feed the B’s Pollinator Mix is a Texas Native Seed Mix that will provide habitat for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. It can be planted alone or added to your custom mix. The mix contains both annual and perennial native flowering species, and it will provide year-long cover and benefits to pollinators. 

These forbs and legumes will provide food for caterpillars of butterflies and moths, provide nectar for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and produce seeds for songbirds. Species included are also beneficial habitat components for quail, deer, and turkeys.

This mix provides nectar and blooms from March through Thanksgiving.

Give it a Monarch Boost! Add a packet of Mariposa Zizotes Milkweed to spread with your pollinator mix to add one more butterfly species that can benefit your garden and provide a host plant for Monarch Butterflies.

*The graph shows when each species in this mix will bloom, and whether birds, bees, or butterflies benefit from it. The butterflies are listed by how many species of butterfly use the plant as a larval host, which means where they will lay their eggs. For example, 27 different species of butterflies will lay their eggs on bluebonnets. Butterflies are very specific as to where they will lay their eggs. Details on which species prefer the plants came from The National Wildlife Federations Native Plant Index, The Audubon Society, BeeSponsible, and the Native Plant Network.
