How can I diversify flowering plants for sustained pollinator support?
I'm Oliver, and I've been cultivating a biodiversity-rich garden in Berlin for over 40 years. In my pollinator garden, I've focused on a mix of native plants, but I feel like I'm missing some key species that bloom at different times of the year. Currently, I have a good mix of early spring and summer bloomers, like bee balm and coneflowers, but I want to ensure that I have a continuous offering of flowers throughout the growing season to support my local pollinator populations. I've researched a bit but would love to hear firsthand experiences and recommendations on specific plants that not only attract a range of pollinators but also thrive in my clay soil. Can anyone share insights on reliable flowering plants that could fill the gaps in my pollinator garden across all seasons?
