Butterfly Flower Seeds
Our butterfly flower seed collection features open pollinated, non-GMO, and neonicotinoid free varieties selected to attract, support, and sustain butterflies and pollinators throughout their life cycle.
Butterfly gardening offers a meaningful way to connect with nature, creating a living habitat that invites observation, learning, and beauty for all ages. By planting a diverse mix of nectar rich flowers and host plants, you provide essential food sources for both adult butterflies and their caterpillars.
Well suited for garden beds, borders, and naturalized spaces, these plants help create a vibrant and ecologically supportive landscape that benefits butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other beneficial insects.
Flowers That Attract Adult Butterflies (Nectar Plants)
Echinacea, zinnia, cosmos, sunflowers, calendula, coreopsis, gaillardia, Mexican sunflower, and nasturtium provide nectar rich blooms that fuel adult butterflies throughout the season.
Host Plants for Caterpillars (Larval Food)
Milkweed (common, butterfly, and narrowleaf), dill, fennel, and borage serve as essential host plants, providing the foliage caterpillars need to grow and complete their life cycle.
Herbs That Support Butterflies and Pollinators
Basil, thyme, oregano, chives, cilantro, and catnip offer both nectar and habitat support, making them valuable additions to any pollinator garden.
If you are looking to attract butterflies and support their full life cycle, this collection offers a thoughtful and effective way to build habitat in your garden.
For those planting milkweed, it is important to choose varieties native to your region to best support local ecosystems and monarch populations.
Whether you're helping your local monarchs or just want to see the butterflies in your area flutter around a bit more, these seeds can help. Feel free to check out our resources page for help determining your native milkweed.
