Collection: Butterfly Garden Favorites

If your dream garden is alive with fluttering wings and constant motion, this collection brings together some of the very best butterfly magnets Annie’s has to offer. Native milkweed provides an essential host plant for monarchs, while buckwheats, salvias, agastaches, and monardella offer abundant nectar for butterflies, bees, and other beneficial pollinators. Airy verbenas float above the border, creating perfect landing pads for visiting butterflies, while colorful zinnias, cosmos, echinaceas, yarrow, lantana, and rudbeckias keep the buffet open from spring through fall. California natives mingle effortlessly with cottage garden favorites, creating a relaxed, naturalistic planting that is as beautiful as it is ecologically valuable. Expect a lively mix of colors, textures, and flower forms that will draw swallowtails, painted ladies, monarchs, skippers, and countless other pollinators to your garden. Whether planted in a dedicated habitat garden or woven into existing borders, these plants transform outdoor spaces into vibrant sanctuaries filled with life, movement, and seasonal color.
