By far the best attractor for pollinators in the yards. We observed some pollinators as frequent visitors:
- Butterfly
- Bees
- Hummingbirds
- Moth etc.
Almost every morning, we enjoy seeing pollinators sip nectar of multi-headed Mexican sunflowers.

We bought the plant from a local nursery close by our neighborhood, or you might order seed from online stores.
