Butterfly and Song-Bird Plants

With a name like butterfly bush, you might expect a plant to be attractive to butterflies. In fact, it's more than attractive; it's a magnet for all the butterflies who pass through your garden seeking nectar. Many butterfly gardeners plan their garden around Buddleia (pronounced BUD-lee-ah), a genus that includes over 100 species and cultivars. Also called summer lilac, the medium- to large-sized shrubs can anchor a perennial bed or form a hedge.

Our butterfly bushes are shipped in 3 1/2" containers. They are well rooted, trimmed once or twice, and most will bloom this summer! By next July, they should be 3 to 4 feet high and attract butterflies (and hummingbirds) like a magnet.

Butterfly bushes are hardy in zones 5 - 9. If you live in a colder zone, the tops in your butterfly bushes will likely die back over the winter. Even so, they will come back the next growing season bigger and better then before. Butterfly bushes prefer full sun (they must receive eight or more hours of sun a day to thrive). We will be adding other plant varieties from time to time that attract and keep butterflies coming back to your area. The Purple Coneflower that we planted in our gardens attracted the Monarch Butterfly even before I had them in the ground. We hope you enjoy our selections.
