Discovery Combo : Ariane's Top Picks

Combo containing 4 of Ariane’s top picks, Akene's Head of Business Development and Relations.

These four native species attract pollinators and promote biodiversity.

• Calico aster, for its dense, bushy blooms, for the nectar it offers pollinators in the fall, and because it is not often seen, making every encounter a pleasant one.

• Lance-leaved tickseed, for the bright yellow of its flowers, for its versatility in urban landscapes, but especially for the sound it makes once the seeds are ready to harvest.

• Creeping Jacob's ladder, because it marks the beginning of summer, for the delicacy of its flowers, and for its feather-like foliage with a tropical look.

• Zigzag goldenrod, because it is a stunning species for green alley projects in shaded areas, and because it provides a late-season source of nectar and pollen for pollinators.
