Linda - I just cut some flowerheads off of my 'New Flash' and 'Gold Flame' Spirea. The seeds are tiny so I was just planning on crumbling them into my pot this winter. If you are interested, send me an email w/ your address and I'll put some out for you this weekend!

This listing of plants with flowers that attract butterflies was submitted by forum members from throughout the U.S., and from many plant hardiness zones. They grew or personally observed these plants and their butterfly visitors. You should observe what nectar plants perform well in your area when deciding what to plant. Plant zones only indicate the lowest cold temperature in winter, which is just one small part of growing plants. Other factors - heat, exposure to sunlight, rainfall, drainage, humidity, soil type, soil PH, and how well or poorly a person takes care of their plants - have a lot more to do with whether or not a plant succeeds or fails than just the zone.
