Perusing the online catalog at Toadshade Wildflower Farm,
Toadshade Wildflower Farm
53 Everittstown Rd.
Frenchtown, NJ. 08825
I came up with this set of plants for a hummingbird-butterfly garden. A complete plan will include where I will plant these. I already have a trumpet vine with quite a bit of vegetative growth, but with scarce flowers, so I suppose I should consider conditions in my yard to be a bit adverse.
B=Butterflies/Bees
C=Caterpillars (butterfly)
H=Hummingbirds
In theory, flowering from April to September is covered.
