Balcony pollinator planters
Luis Moreno • 9 years experience
Even small patios can hum with pollinator activity. Combine early, mid, and late bloomers with varied flower shapes to support different species. My go-to mix: dwarf sunflowers for structure, trailing nasturtiums for nectar, and chives that offer edible blossoms plus habitat for beneficial insects.
Refresh planters with compost tea every two weeks and rotate containers 90 degrees monthly to balance sun exposure.
