Bonus Pack Seeds for A Butterfly Garden
TWO DESIGN IDEAS
Plant your butterfly garden in a rectangular bed or border with tall, medium and low flowers from back to front, OR in a circle with tall flowers in the center, surrounded by the middle and then lower growing varieties.
For the back of the border in dramatic rows, OR planted in a circle garden as a central spiral, tall, branching Crimson Queen sunflowers offer both a convenient meal and a windscreen for your winged visitors.
At mid-level, Purity Cosmos' abundant snow-satiny white flowers with sunny centers dance and sway all summer, a magnet for air-waltzing butterflies.
At front of the border OR around the outer edge of the circle, low-growing Persian Carpet zinnias offer a beautiful tapestry of warm shades and provide nectar for many species.
CREATING BUTTERFLY HABITATButterflies are attracted to blossom shapes and colors, so it's important to plant in mass blocks instead of a few isolated plants here and there. Planting these flowers behind each other produces an ideal combination of different flowers at varying heights, offering your visitors a choice of where to feed and rest.
These flowers provide flower nectar for nourishment and fuel butterflies need for flying. Flowers unique personal attributes of color, scent and shape lure butterflies and ensure pollination. With each sip from the heart of a blossom, tiny grains of pollen gather on the butterfly’s body and then it helps to pollinate the garden as it flutters among flowers.
Sunny days in the garden are synonymous with a busy freeway of flying butterflies. The sun warms their wing muscles, enabling them to dart, soar and fly seeking nectar and pollinating your sun loving flowers. On gusty summer days, the taller cosmos and sunflowers offer comfortable protection from the wind. Offer butterflies a convenient drinking spot with a shallow bird bath or decorative stone water container.

California Native Orange Poppies
NOTE
The Poppy seeds in this can are packed with a larger quantity of milled rice hulls to help space the tiny seeds when scattering.
Before opening, shake the can thoroughly to mix them together so when you cast the seeds they are spaced with room for the plants to grow.
HOW TO PLANT
In mild winter climates, where the ground does not freeze hard, poppies can be sown in late fall to overwinter for spring bloom. Or, plant as early as possible in spring, as poppies can handle light frosts and bloom longest when given a good start in cool weather.
To prepare the planting area: remove all weeds, grass and large stones. Break up soil clumps and evenly loosen the top 2 inches of soil with a digging fork or shovel, then smooth out with a flat rake.
Shake the can thoroughly before opening, then scatter the contents thinly and evenly over the prepared ground. Using your rake, cover the seed mixture 1/4 inch deep and lightly firm the soil. Water with a gentle mist thoroughly and evenly. Keep the soil moist while awaiting germination and while the seedlings are small.
GROWING NOTES
Mature poppy plants can handle dry conditions, but will thrive and bloom much longer if watered regularly. Poppies make lovely cut flowers if brought indoors just as the buds begin to open. At season’s end, let spent flowers form pods and drop seeds to bloom again the next spring.
