Dandelions are not native where I live, so I use my grampa weeder and yoink. I let the native violets flourish instead, and they are an incredible ground cover and host tons of gorgeous little flowers. Bee Balm and mountain mint are excellent for pollinators and will spread on their own. 🌸

Excellent choice. My yard in NC has lots of violets as well as native columbine, krigia, pussytoes and other native flowers.

Bee Balm is also called Oswego tea and smells wonderful (its part of the mint family) google pussytoes - they really look like kitten feet 😊
