If you dream of a beautiful garden full of vibrant flowers, but don't have the time or mobility for lots of maintenance, then these low-effort perennials are for you.

There’s so much that you do to support your region’s pollinating creatures. You plant pollinator-attracting annuals, perennials, and natives that give them food and nectar. You even provide materials they can use for nesting and shelter. There’s one more area, though, that many gardeners overlook. Pollinators need water. Just as you reach for a glass of water during the day to quench your thirst, pollinating insects and birds need water to accompany their metabolic processes.
