Built your butterfly garden close:
Planting for butterflies, bees and birds in your area makes gardening simpler. Many of these plants are natives, such as black eyed Susan or coneflower, than can take tough conditions.
Many other perennials, annuals and tender perennials, such as Tropical Sage (salvia Coccinea) are also easy care and nectar rich. And hot colored blooms are often magnets for butterflies and hummingbirds, as well as other pollinators, like bees.
These hues brighten your garden all summer long as attractive contrast to cool green foliage. There, a hedge and fence block wind gust, so butterflies have a calm visit.
Choosing plants with different bloom times guarantees multi season interest, along with a consistent supply of food for butterflies, bees and birds.
