Hello,
I am new to DG and also to gardening - although I have been around plants most of my life - I am just beginning to landscape a 4 acre yard - and want to attract lots of hummers and butterflies. I was reading lots of links on this forum - didn't realize people captured the butterflies to raise them... Obviously I have a LOT to learn! But, can you suggest some good plants to get started that will attract the butterflies without taking over my yard?? I have read that some of the butterfly weed spreads really bad - and i don't need that... but I am interested in attracting as many butterflies as I can to my yard.
I would appreciate any and all input. I assume it would be better to try to plan for the butterflies from the start so that is what I am trying to do. I did a search on the website about what butterflies are in my area - and it doesn't seem that we have very many...odd. I remember seeing lots of different types of butterflies as a small child - but maybe they no longer pass this way.
I am in zone 7b located in So Arkansas.
Thanks!
Genna
