[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Intersting that is no bueno for buttterflies. I was on the Merryfield Nursery Website and they had a link to an article talking about how butterfly bushes were good for a butterfly garden. That is why I thought of them! Sounds like they don't know what they are talking about. [/quote]

By a strange coincidence, Merryfield Nursery sells butterfly bushes...[/quote]

Ha ha, well I figured that was the reason. But I assume they also sell the other options that are native and better for butterflies! So why not just mention them? I guess a butterfly bush is more $$$ than some of the other opitions. [/quote]

With a name like "butterfly bush" it's probably difficult NOT to reommend it!

This is another good resource:

I planted some butterfly weed and Joe Pye weed last year and they've really taken off.  The common milkweed was slower to establish but did come back this year.[/quote]
