A real plan you can plant from

Landscape-style blueprint for the butterfly garden, labeled placements, plant names, and quantities that match the kit you can add to cart.

How to plant this garden

  • Include nectar through late summer.
  • Skip pesticides — caterpillars need the leaves.
  • Cluster blooms in groups of 3–5.

Plant care

Butterfly Garden care guide

Water by plant type, some want more, some less

  • Delivery is driveway drop-off, water plants the same day if you can, even before they’re in the ground.
  • Mulch 2–3 inches after planting to hold moisture; keep mulch off stems and trunks.
  • First season is establishment season: regular deep water beats frequent light sprinkles.
  • When in doubt, dig a small hole next to the root ball, bone dry means water; muddy means wait.
Water more often (first season)

Summersweet

Tougher once established

Gold Mound Spirea · Little Princess Spirea · Northern Lights Spirea

Shrubs

Deep soak 1–2 times a week the first season so roots chase moisture down. A quick daily splash trains shallow roots and stress.

Check under the mulch with a finger, damp, not swampy.

In your list: Royal Razz Butterfly Bush, Pugster Blue Butterfly Bush, 'Pugster Pinker Butterfly Bush, Early Amethyst Beautyberry, Summersweet, Spicebush, Gold Mound Spirea, Little Princess Spirea, Northern Lights Spirea

This is general Zone 7 (Delaware Valley) guidance for the plants in this garden, not a guarantee of survival. Soil, sun, and weather at your address still matter. Overwatering kills as often as drought.
