Hi Edwin,

I have tons of PorterWeed Seeds that I'll gladly share if you'll send a SASE.

PorterWeed is a flower grown in all Commercial
Butterfly Gardens across the country. Just check it
out on the internet.

If you're interested, email me at
Kitcat22791 AT wmconnect.com.

All the best,
Julia in Orlando, FL

I have recently planted a butterfly garden and have done quite a bit of research on what kinds of flowers they like. Here are a few of the best ones:

Butterfly Bush (Buddleia Spp)
Purple Coneflower (Echinacea Purpurea
Blazing Star (Liatris Spp)
Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia Spp)
Pincushin Flower (Scabiosa Caucasica)
Verbenas
Milkweed (aka butterfly weed)

I hope this helps! Good luck on your garden

Try growing asclepias (milkweed). Caterpillars got all over mine, ate it up, made cocoons in it and the kids and I watched butterflies emerge shortly after... really cool!

Starting a butterfly garden can be a fun project. I love watching beautiful butterflies floating around flower gardens. There are few things to consider when you start a butterfly garden such as where to plant, what to plant, butterfly garden design, how much sun the area get.
