10th Annual Butterfly Festival and Plant Sale
Plant List
This year's Butterfly Festival's Plant Sale will have the most diversity of plant species and numbers ever. Look for over 100 types, including many sennas, milkweeds, passion vines, trees, some succulents and grasses that all have links to the lifecycle of butterflies and moths.
Go to the ASDM digital library for images and information on many of these plants.
We welcome you to bring in your empty 1 gallon nursery pots to the sale. We will reuse them next year, saving earth's resources, landfill space, and helping us keep our costs down. The gallon size is the only one we currently need.
Disclaimer: This list is subject to change before the date of the sale - please check back for any updates.
