Ontario Native Plants for Pollinator Gardens
Explore Ontario native plants tagged for pollinator or larval-host value, with links to wildlife profiles and flowering periods.
Look beyond flowers
This selection includes profiles tagged for pollinator or larval-host value. Read each plant’s ecology section to distinguish nectar and pollen resources from larval host relationships.
Compare flowering periods
Use the bloom chart and flowering filters to compare candidates across the growing season. Check sun, soil, and mature size so the selected plants also suit the available site.
Follow the wildlife links
Associated-fauna profiles connect plants with wildlife, host plants, and habitat. Follow these references when planning for a particular insect rather than assuming that every flowering plant serves the same ecological role.
