What’s your go-to native plant for attracting pollinators

I’ve been focused on creating more bee-friendly spaces in my projects lately, and I’ve noticed that planting native flowers really makes a difference. For example, I love using milkweed since it attracts monarchs, but I’m curious — what native plants do you rely on to support local pollinator populations?

Have you tried planting coneflowers? They’re like the Swiss Army knife for pollinators — bees, butterflies, and even the occasional hummingbird love them! It’s great to hear you’re focusing on bee-friendly spaces.
