The new pollinator-friendly native plants

The Perennial Farm plans to unveil its new collection of pollinator-friendly native plants, Queen Bee Natives, at AmericanHort’s Cultivate’23 in July. Queen Bee Natives is a unique offering of retail-ready perennials that combines the multiple benefits of native plants with the essential qualities of pollinator plants. The exclusive program will be available to retailers and landscapers in limited quantities this fall and in fuller availability in the spring of 2024.

Queen Bee Natives is another step in The Perennial Farm’s tradition of SolutionGardening, joining the popular solution collections of Treadwell Plants and Deer-leerious Plants, to provide consumer gardeners with smart solutions for successful gardens and landscapes.

The Queen Bee Natives collection is comprised of natives, native cultivars, and straight species, carefully selected for performance in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. As natives, these plants will create inviting wildlife habitats, require less water, fertilizer, and pesticides, thus reducing maintenance and add beauty and aesthetic to the landscape. Pollinator-friendly, Queen Bee Natives will be valuable in the critical effort to give food resources and habitats to pollinators, beneficial insects, and wildlife.

Exclusively grown and distributed by The Perennial Farm, Queen Bee Natives is designed with the gardening consumer in mind. The collection will be engaging for retail with its illustrated spokesperson logo named Polly-nator, 1-gallon garden-ready plants identified with brand-specific labeling, and display supporting POP bench wrap and signage. The program will have a presence across various social media platforms.
