attracting pollinating insects

What flowering plants should I place near my two blueberry plants in containers on my driveway that might attract the kinds of insects to maximize pollination of the blueberry plants?

 

Almost any plant that flowers at the same time your blueberry plants flower will help attract pollinating insects. This could be anything from apples to clematis to more blueberries. The Xerces Society (a Portland-based conservation organization) has published this useful fact sheet about choosing plants to help our native bees.
