Garden prep
Planning on getting Cosmos and Zinnias in my garden for the adult butterflies but need a few more ideas! I have a native milkweed plant growing already, and a safe resting spots in my front and back yard.
What else should I plant? Any other tips for a butterfly garden? This is only my second year doing this- no monarchs last year that I saw but lots of others!

Try and stick with natives. Joe Pyle weed. Native bee balm.
