Bee Heaven builds a pollinator garden at container scale. Compact plants carry clouds of white, soft pink, and rose-red blossoms, each a small reservoir of nectar for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
Earlier flowering than many salvias and only 12–18 inches tall, this blend belongs at the edge of a path, in a patio pot, or among low border companions. Slender sprays also bring a light, wild touch to mixed bouquets.
