My parents live in zone 4, and our garden has hardly any birds or, more
importantly, butterflies, to speak of. We have over an acre to work
with.
I am looking for maybe 200-300 butterfly-attracting plants of all types:
*sunny to shady (some areas direct sun in a garden, some under trees,
some heavy cover)
*short to tall (from under an inch to really tall)
*bushes to flowers to groundcover (some bushes for perimeter, flowers
for the garden, groundcover for a shady area where grass won't grow.)
*blooming in spring, summer and fall. (I want to have an equal amount
of flowers blooming at all times, as many as possible lasting as long
as possible.)
*Most importantly, they all should be butterfly attracting. If
they're also hummingbird, etc, attracting, that would be nice.
On my own, I found 300 plants meeting my specifications, but they were
in zone 5 and I don't want to make a mistake. I need help to find
this many zone 4 butterfly-attracting flowers.
I'm sorry I can't afford to pay more, I would if I could. |
