10 Texas Plants that Pollinators Love

Texas is home to a diverse ecosystem where native plants play a vital role in sustaining the wildlife, especially pollinators like native butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. These plants have evolved alongside the local wildlife, offering them food, shelter, and breeding grounds. Native plants are especially important for supporting pollinators that are facing increasing habitat loss. Butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds rely on these plants not only for survival but also for supporting ecological balance.

Below are 10 of our favorite Texas native plants that are a must-have for any pollinator-friendly garden, along with the pollinators they benefit most!

Why Native Plants Matter

Planting native species like these helps support the health and survival of pollinators. These plants are adapted to the local climate and soil, making them easier to grow and maintain while providing essential resources for pollinators. Whether you are supporting Monarch butterfly migrations with Green Milkweed or attracting native bees and hummingbirds with Wild Bergamot, each plant plays a role in sustaining the delicate balance of the ecosystem.

By including these native Texas plants in your garden, you’ll not only create a beautiful landscape, but also provide crucial support to the bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds that keep our environment thriving!
