Bee and Butterfly Garden Starter Pack - 18 pots (3")
Can’t be shipped.
This Garden Starter Pack includes 18 plants, a garden design, and instructions for planting and maintenance. The design and instructions are available here.
The Bee and Butterfly Garden Pack focuses on sun-loving plants that attract bees and butterflies. You can either make a small garden or you can add the plants to your existing landscaping—most of the plants form tidy clumps, just like the perennials you might already have in your landscaping.
We designed this garden with the best plants to attract bees and butterflies. The Pussytoes are a host plant for Painted Lady Butterfly caterpillars, the Butterfly Milkweed hosts Monarchs, and the Nodding Onion attract bees. In August, the Meadow Blazing Stars will bloom and attract monarchs every day to drink the nectar (we call it the Monarch Magnet!). It’s truly an amazing sight.
This Starter Pack will fill a small area about 6ft x 6ft—if you’d like a bigger garden with more blooms at a time, buy 2 or 3 Starter Packs and combine them into a larger garden!
Great native garden choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
