Know before you buy
The Ingram kit is curated to support local honeybee populations, focusing on varieties that thrive in outdoor environments. While specific species vary, the selection is chosen specifically to provide nectar and pollen for pollinators in the region.
These plants are designed for outdoor use and can generally be grown in either containers or garden beds. Ensure your chosen pots have adequate drainage to keep the plants healthy throughout the growing season.
Most pollinator-friendly flowers thrive in full sun, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Check the specific care tags included in your kit once you pick it up for the exact light requirements of the varieties provided.
To keep the environment safe for honeybees, it is best to avoid synthetic pesticides and herbicides entirely. If you choose to fertilize, opt for organic, pollinator-safe options to ensure the habitat remains healthy for the bees you are trying to attract.
The kit contains a mix of flowering plants, which may include both annuals and perennials depending on the season. Perennials will return each year, while annuals will complete their life cycle in one season, providing a full display of blooms.
