Alyssum Flowers
In Spring of 2020, Brad Root, the 5th generation Owner and President of A. I. Root Company, decided to plant pollinator friendly perennials in front of the 150+ year old office headquarters in Medina, Ohio. True, pollinator plants had been there, but he wanted a more colorful, orderly combination of choices. In the last two years, we have described some of the pollinator plants, but it is time to show how beautiful and appealing it is to many pollinators, as well as visitors and travelers.
These sidewalk plots show that even with minimal space, anyone can provide essential food for pollinators which are attractive and enjoyable for people and easy to maintain. Hopefully these delightful flowers will inspire our readers to plant food for the bees, butterflies, moths and hummingbirds among many other pollinators for next season!
