  • PLANT LIST for POLLINATORS Part 1 – a Concise List of Suggested Garden Plants That Are Attractive to Pollinating Insects
    THE ACTION PLAN FOR POLLINATORS SUGGESTED PLANT LIST FOR POLLINATORS Part 1 – A concise list of suggested garden plants that are attractive to pollinating insects This is a list of suggested garden plants. We have only selected flowers which are garden- worthy, easily obtainable, well-known, and widely acknowledged as being attractive to pollinating insects. In some case we have given extra comments about garden- worthiness. This is intended as a clear and concise short list to help gardeners; it is not intended to be comprehensive and we have avoided suggesting plants which are difficult to grow or obtain, or whose benefit to pollinators is still a matter for debate. We have omitted several plants that are considered to have invasive potential, and have qualified some others on the list with comments advising readers how to avoid invasive forms. PLANT ANGELICA (Angelica species). Attractive to a range of insects, especially hoverflies and solitary bees. AUBRETIA (Aubrieta deltoides hybrids). An important early nectar for insects coming out of hibernation. BELLFLOWER (Campanula species and cultivars). Forage for bumblebees and some solitary bees. BETONY (Stachys officinalis). Attractive to bumblebees. Butterfly Conversation’s Awarded the Royal Horticultural Top Butterflys Society’s ‘Award of Garden Nectar Plants. Merit’. PLANT BIRD’S FOOT TREFOIL (Lotus corniculatus). Larval food plant for Common Blue, Dingy Skipper and several moths. Also an important pollen source for bumblebees. Can be grown in gravel or planted in a lawn that is mowed with blades set high during the flowering period. BOWLES’ WALLFLOWER (Erysimum Bowles Mauve). Mauve perennial wallflower, long season nectar for butterflies, moths and many bee species.

En el PNM se reconocen seis tipos de vegetación, predominando los bosques de Pinus-Quercus y de Quercus. Se encontraron 101 especies, distribuidas en 13 tribus y 51 géneros; dos de ellas naturalizadas (exóticas). Los miembros más numerosos son de las tribus Eupatorieae (26), Heliantheae (17), Astereae (11) y Coreopsideae (10). Los géneros mejor representados son Ageratina (11), Stevia (11), Pseudognaphalium (6) y Dahlia (5). Las especies endémicas al territorio de la República constituyen el componente más importante (54), siguiendo en relevancia las distribuidas de México a Centroamérica (16); solamente cinco (incluyendo las dos introducidas) también existen en el Viejo Mundo. El uso de estimadores no paramétricos indicó que el grado de completitud del inventario de la flora sinanterológica conocida hasta la fecha para el Parque es de entre 70 y 84%. Palabras clave: área natural protegida, Asteraceae, completitud, Hidalgo, inventario florístico, México.

  • WLGF Pollinator Planting List
    Suggested Plant List for Pollinators, September 2014 This list has been produced by Jan Miller on behalf of the North Wales Wildlife Trust and Marc Carlton on behalf of the Wildlife Gardening Forum, at the request of the Welsh Government’s Pollinator Task Force. The authors recognise that producing planting lists for pollinators is not a straightforward exercise. There are still many areas where further research is required in order to improve our understanding of the needs of pollinating insects and the best planting schemes to cater for them. One of the Wildlife Gardening Forum’s aims is to promote more evidence-based research to increase our knowledge and understanding of this subject. This list is based on the compilers’ personal experience over many years as gardeners and naturalists, and incorporates Jan’s work investigating plants for butterflies on behalf of Butterfly Conservation and uses their data sent in by members over twenty years. The list includes a selection of forage plants useful for adult butterflies, moths, hoverflies, bumblebees and solitary bees, which together make up the vast majority of pollinators in Wales. Plants recommended as larval food plants for butterflies and some moths have also been included. Specialised lists of flowers that are recommended as forage for honeybees have been published for many years within the beekeeping community and so we have not specifically covered honeybees in our list, although many of the flowers on our list will be used by honeybees. The list is in two parts. The first part is a list of suggested garden plants. We have only selected flowers which are garden-worthy, easily obtainable, well-known, and widely acknowledged as being attractive to pollinating insects.

Abstract First-year outplanting performance was measured in First-year fertilization of outplanted seedlings has the guindo santo (Eucryphia glutinosa (Poepp. & Endl.) main objective of increasing survival and short-term Baill.), a Chilean endemic tree species in the Med- productivity (Fox et al. 2006). In Chile, the effects iterranean climate zone, which is catalogued as a of early plantation fertilization treatments have been mainly focused on exotic species such as Monterey near-threatened species. The effects on survival of pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) and Eucalyptus spp. initial plant size, fertilization at establishment, and (Rubilar et al. 2008, Schönau and Herbert 1989), shade (with or without nurse trees) were evaluated which are subjected to intensive forest management during the first growth season. Planting guindo santo programs. We know of only one field fertilization under nurse trees was the most important treatment to experiment with native species under restoration increase survival, compared with trees planted in full programs, namely coigüe (Nothofagus domeyi Mirb.) sun.
