Hicks Nurseries, Long Island’s largest garden center, offers an unbeatable selection of plants to help pollinators flourish. From milkweed for butterflies to monarda for bees and honeysuckle for birds, the nursery, located in Westbury, New York is home to hundreds of pollinator-friendly plants.

Bees, butterflies, birds, flies, hummingbirds and even bats are vital to the production of food everywhere around the world. Without them, we would not have fruits, vegetables, honey, coffee or nuts. Providing safe havens for pollinators at all stages of their life helps them to find food easily and increases the success of your garden.

Pollinator-friendly gardens should be planted in a full sun location with a variety of plant species. Leafy plants provide shade and shelter while colorful flowering plants provide nectar and the ability to pollinate.

Some of Hicks Nurseries’ Favorite Plants for Pollinators include annuals, herbs & vegetables, perennials, trees & shrubs and vines. Annuals live and die within one summer season. The most popular annuals include Ageratum, Alyssum, Million Bells, Cosmos, Lantana, Marigold, Petunia and Zinnia. As for Herbs & Vegetables their favorites are dill, fennel, parsley and sage.

More pollinator-friendly plants include perennials, plants that come back year after year, such as Asters, Bee Balm, Black Eyed Susan, Butterfly Weed, Coneflower, Milkweed and Coreopsi. Lastly, trees & shrubs such as Azaleas, Blueberries, Butterfly Bush, Daphne, St. John’s Wort, Clethra, Viburnum, Dogwood and Eastern Redbud and vines such as Honeysuckle and Wisteria.

In addition to plants, the nursery carries a full selection of pollinator-friendly products such as bird and bat houses, hummingbird feeders and insect homes. The garden center is also known for its large selection of organic weed and insect controls including the use of ladybugs and praying mantis, who are known to eat an incredible number of pests.
