Comments on: Planting A Native Bee Garden http://fogm.techliminal.com/planting-a-native-bee-garden/ The Green Heart of Oakland for Fifty Years Sun, 22 Sep 2013 01:16:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.0 By: Pete Veilleux http://fogm.techliminal.com/planting-a-native-bee-garden/comment-page-1/#comment-11085 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 06:11:02 +0000 http://gardensatlakemerritt.org/?p=2515#comment-11085 You left out a few of the very best [and native] plants to draw bees to your garden – all the Ceanothus species and our many, many salvia species. I especially recommend Salvia clevelandii, Salvia sonomoensis, and Salvia leucophylla, Ceanothus ‘Darkstar’ and ‘Julia Phelps’, along with ‘Joyce Coulter’. There are many named selections of the Salvias, each one is great, but the siting of them should determine which should be used where.

I have a new native plant nursery in the Fruitvale w/ one of the largest selections of natives in the bay area – East Bay Wilds Native Plant Nursery – by appointment only [510-409-5858].
