Easy Care Plants for a Simple Butterfly Garden

I wrote the following article today, and it’s one in which I truly recommend plants I love – in fact, each one grows in my own butterfly garden. There were two I did not mention in the article because a) the colors didn’t go with the others and b) their growth habit makes them look kind of weedy, which when coupled with the Buddleias that take over the bed, may not be everyone’s cup of tea.  I also have Geum and Cardinal Flower in my butterfly garden. I enjoy both, but for attracting butterflies, really nothing beats Buddleia.  Clouds of them rise up from the bushes every day and perch among the pine trees here. It’s quite a sight.
