Pollinators (honeybees, butterflies, bumblebees and many others) are essential to life on our planet. The Bee Conservancy states, “Of the 1,400 crop plants grown around the world…almost 80% require pollination by animals.” If we lost 80% of our food supply, you can only imagine how we would fight over the remaining 20%.
At Mainscape, we are committed to processes that help preserve our environment. We are constantly monitoring the latest research and tools, and revising processes to protect water, soil and our pollinators. Part of these efforts are recommending and planting plants that support life and reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, thereby reducing natural resource consumption.
Here are a few plants to consider during this buzzing month:
Pentas
As a perennial, Pentas enjoy our humid summers. They come in many colors and attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Pentas will grow from 15 inches to 2-3 feet wide. They thrive in well-drained soil and full sun.
Salvias
Salvia enjoy having no serious pests. They attract butterflies and hummingbirds. They are both an annual and perennial, coming in many colors and sizes. They work well as a mass planting, border and even in containers. These beautiful plants work well in partial to full sun.
Firecracker plants
These Florida-friendly plants attract hummingbirds and butterflies, and their beautiful flowers will have an “explosive” impact on your landscape. The leaves are soft with a fine texture, and they bloom year-round. Though mostly in red, yellow and salmon colors are also available. This plant is relatively pest-free and prefers full sun, but it can handle some shade.
We continue to see a decline in many of our pollinators. This is due to poor horticultural practices, continued urban development and many other factors. It is imperative that we all do what we can to create habitats that support life, especially for our pollinators. If you have a bee infestation, please contact a local apiary inspector.
Finally, June 1 brings the beginning of Atlantic Hurricane season. Check out our blog for the steps you should take now to protect your landscape from inclement weather.

When I started in Pest Management in 2005 with a different company, we were applying a slurry of insecticide, fungicide and fertilizer to all ornamental shrubs on a bi-monthly basis. This was NOT IPM, as there was no “target pest.” Rather, we were “spraying and praying” to stop or prevent pests and disease. This approach harmed beneficial insects, wasted product and increased the chance of chemical resistance by target pests.
IPM actually starts before plants are ever put into your landscape. This means selecting the right plant for the right location, choosing pest-resistant varieties, and keeping your plants healthy with the right irrigation and fertilization strategies. Theses strategies will reduce the need for future chemical applications.
No matter what, there are pests and diseases that may periodically impact our landscape. Detecting pests means regular scouting. These visual checks allow a pest issue to be addressed before it becomes an infestation or causes damage. Even if pests are found, trained IPM technicians will evaluate the damage threshold and look for beneficial insects (predatory bugs that feed on insect pests) and allow them a chance to control the issue. Beneficial insects include ladybugs, assassin bugs, spiders, parasitic wasps, and parasitic flies.
If a pest problem requires intervention, it doesn’t always mean chemicals are needed. Oftentimes, trimming impacted ornamentals will remove the pest. Sometimes water can be used to displace pests to an area which is not conducive to life. If chemical intervention is required, IPM requires selecting the least harmful option to beneficial insects, people and wildlife. Applications are always targeted to the impacted plant or group of plants.
As part of Mainscape’s commitment to environmental stewardship, IPM plays a critical role in our agronomic services. Part of creating great landscape experiences is always providing safer, better, and the most scientifically advanced methods of pest and disease management in your landscape.
