WANTED: Seeds for Butterfly Garden

16 years ago

I am looking for the following seeds to create a butterfly garden:

false indigo

thistle

turtlehead

nettle

cassia

milkweed

gerardias

praire clover

verbena

yarrow

Anything else that seems to attract butterflies or hummingbirds for you. I don't have anything to trade as last year was my first year of winter sowing and I just moved last month so I didn't get to harvest all of my seeds. I will be happy to do a SASBE for anyone who has any fresh seeds to share =)

Thank you & God Bless!

Andrea

There doesn't seem to be a way to send you an email through Gardenweb. You won't get many responses because many of us don't want to put our addresses and personal information on the thread for everyone to see. If you go to my page and send me an email with your address I'll send you some seeds. Feel free to check my list to see if there's anything specific you want. I am in Nebraska zone 4/5.We have hot summers, too. I have quite a few flowers that butterflies like and I'm as addicted to saving seeds as I am to growing flowers. I'm not looking for a trade--I have more than enough seeds. Love to share with others. Heidi

Hi, I had someone very generously send me a package of seeds from The Butterfly Ranch I think it was called, last year. Well, my ex destroyed a lot of my plants and threw away some of my seeds & I no longer have any of them. :( Please, if you are still on GW & see this post, I would love to get some more of the seeds from you! I would be willing to send a SASBE and some of my veggie seeds if you want. Please let me know! =) Thanks - Steve
