Squire House–The place for plants!
Selections for a Butterfly Garden
Swallowtail Butterfly sipping nectar from
Phlox paniculata 'Sherbert Cocktail'
A new bi-color phlox, 28" tall for full sun

Helenium
‘Red Jewel’ Helen's Flower
An interesting new color for Heleniums, tight clusters of small, dusky red flowers with a hint of blue.
 Echinacea
‘Lucky Star' Coneflower
Wow! 40”, taller and sturdier, grows vigorously in tough location. Likes full sun, but tolerates some part-shade. Tough and durable, avoid winter wetness and damp soil.
 Monarda
‘Fireball' Bee Balm
Butterflies and hummingbirds will sip nectar from the bright red fragrant flowers. More compact and less invasive than other bee balms.
 Full sun, 18”-24” tall.
 Aster
‘Blue Autumn'
Compact form of smooth aster, only 20" tall, full sun. Clusters of lavender blue daisy-like flowers that butterflies love! Blooms in late summer until fall.
 Eupatorium
‘Little Joe'
Joe Pye Weed
Dwarf selection, just the right size for smaller gardens. Large domed mauve-purple flowers are butterfly magnets, blooms from mid-summer to fall. 36”-48” sun-part shade.

 Sedum
‘Sunset Cloud'

Colorful purple foliage, masses of vibrant rose red flowers at the tips of each stem are very attractive to insect pollinators. Use it near the front of the border or as an accent plant in fall containers.
 Coreopsis
‘Moon Ray'
 

Light creamy yellow blossoms. Long blooming until late summer. Virtually indestructible–thrives in the worst conditions. Full Sun. 18”-24”
