Pollinators

Question

Will the portulaca attract bees. Are bees the only pollinator to help my zucchini and cucumbers grow?

Answer 1

Nectar rich flowering plants native to your region are typically the best pollinator plants. But portulaca is a plant that bees and butterflies visit. Zucchini and cucumber are pollinated by bees as well as other flying insects.
