Native Plant Cultivars and Pollinators – Webinar

The Penn State Extension Master Watershed Stewards of Chester/Delaware County and Master Gardeners of Chester County will host researcher, Annie White, to discuss pollinators and native plant cultivars. Many people are incorporating native plants into gardens and community areas to provide our pollinators with needed food and habitat. Garden centers frequently carry native plant cultivars. These nativars are bred for traits that people desire but may create unintended challenges for pollinators.

Do native plant cultivars provide the same benefits as the straight species?
