Hi,
Coreopis attracts butterflies - I just saw 2 small ones on the bright flowers.
No idea what they were. Asters also attract them. I have some plants I am
willing to share if you would like some. They bloom later in the summer. Both
plants are prennials.
Others on the list are also welcome to asters as well.

Hi All,
We're planning to devote one of our garden plots--about 12' X 12', full sun--to
plants that might attract and feed hummingbirds and butterflies. I would love
to have some suggestions for flowering plants that do well in this area in
these conditions. The hardier the plant, the better--I'm pretty incompetent at
gardening.
Thanks,
Bill
