PLANTS FOR GOOD NECTAR SOURCES.<\/p>\n
Now that we are approaching the end of April and summer will be here before we know, it\u2019s that time of year when butterflies begin to visit our gardens to feed and help pollinate our plants. Matter of fact, I am seeing quite a few butterflies in the nursery enjoying all the blooming perennials and annuals right now. We often plant brightly-colored, nectar-rich plants to attract adult butterflies to our gardens, but it is important not to forget that their young need a safe place to feed as well.<\/p>\n
Here is a list of just a few plant suggestions – you can say \u201cDoug\u2019s favorites\u201d – to support our beautiful butterflies:<\/p>\n
There are many more plants to consider planting: Alyssum, Candytuft, Cosmos, Impatiens Marigold, Asters, Phlox, Joe-Pye-Weed, Yarrow, and much more.<\/p>\n
Come see us now because we have a great selection of blooming perennials and annuals that are great butterfly magnets.<\/p>\n
Happy planting!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
