This is the perfect solution when you want to attract butterflies.
When gardeners wish to attract
butterflies, they often end up with this trio of perennials resulting in a parade of beautiful butterflies.
Purple Coneflower and
White Coneflower are the highest of the three garden standards reaching up to 3 feet. With regal ruby petals and elegant white petals both offer blooms the size tea-cup saucers filled with sweet nectar for butterflies and
hummingbirds.
Black Eyed Susan reaches about 2 feet in height, offering a second layer of sunny golden blooms dotted with chocolate drop centers. This perennial trifecta is guaranteed to bring
long blooms (June-October in most regions) that will be a hit with butterflies during the growing season and
birds once the flower heads go to seed.
With this package you will achieve beauty outside, the ability to bring gorgeous cut-flowers inside, and a butterfly/hummingbird feeding frenzy you won't want to stop watching. And did we mention we've discounted this package just for you?

Echinacea purpurea 'Magnus' (Purple Coneflower) is easy to grow and forms neat clumps of foliage. From early summer to early autumn, it produces dazzling, vibrant,
rose-pink/purple daisy-like flowers that beckon
butterflies and
hummingbirds. In addition to less droopy petals, its blooms are lightly
fragrant and at (up to) 6 inches across, larger than most other Echinaceas. Magnus is moderately
tolerant of salt and is by far one of the best perennials on the market today. Mature height 25-36" and a spread of 18-25", spacing 15-20". [

Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm' (Black Eyed Susan, Golden Coneflower) has giant masses of dramatic 1- to 2-inch
golden-yellow blooms encasing a chocolate brown/black cone center. Tolerant of heat,
drought and
poor soil, perennials do not come any easier or more hardy and striking. 'Goldsturm' works exceptionally well in both residential and commercial landscapes, because of its durability and dramatic visual impact. It attracts
butterflies, makes an excellent cut flower, and adapts to a wide variety of soil conditions. Once established, it spreads rapidly. Mature height 18-30", spacing 12-25". [
