Flying Flowers...that's how I think of the brightly colored butterflies who grace my garden in the glorious summer months. With their charm and whimsy, butterflies add a magical feel and ambiance to any landscape. My goal of attracting a swarm of them to Sunnytime Farm led me to concoct the below planting scheme, composed of nectar-producing wildflowers and butterfly magnets such as Buddleia and Monarda. My Bluestone Perennials order just arrived this past weekend, which means I'm now ready to complete the full installation of a large dedicated Butterfly Garden.
