Plant and Seed Sources

Hopefully you're excited about getting started on your Butterfly Garden and want to know where you can find the plants and seeds I've written about. It would be nice if I could point you to ONE location for all your needs, but that's not the case. I've compiled a list below which includes both local and national sources and which I use on a regular basis. Each source has their strengths and weaknesses. You may have to visit quite a few to find all the plants you're looking for.

If you have a favorite online source, please let me know and I'll include it in my list.
