Gardening Despite Pollen Allergies
Filed in archive Hay Fever , Living with Allergies by ruth on July 30, 2006

Usually the plants which trigger your allergies are those whose pollens are floating in the air. If you choose those plants which are pollinated not by wind, but by insects, then it should remarkable lower the chances of your pollen allergies getting triggered.
Here's a list of some insect-pollinated plants from the GreenGuide from which you can choose:
Garden plants: Alyssum, begonia, cactus, clematis, columbine, crocus, daffodil, daisy, dusty miller, geranium, hosta, impatiens, iris, lily, narcissus, pansy, petunia, phlox, rose, salvia, snapdragon, sunflower, tulips, verbena, zinnia.
Grasses: St. Augustine
(not for all climates, however).Shrubs: Azalea, boxwood, hibiscus, hydrangea, viburnum.
Trees: Apple, cherry, dogwood, magnolia, pear, plum.
Get some advice from the garden shop, too. Might be late for this year, but next summer, you can enjoy a garden in full bloom, hopefully without a sneeze!
