Sedum.

Sedum is a great butterfly attractor. Blooms late summer/fall when not as many other nectar sources are available. Grows to 18 in. high. Some species grow more like vines.


Where to buy Sedum

I highly recommend Nature Hills Nursery. Their perennials cost a bit more but they are grown in 4'' x 6'' air-pruned pots that results in healthier plants with a highly developed root mass! The price is reduced however, if you buy more plants. Nature Hills also has a free plant and seed catalog that will be coming out in December that they will mail out to you.

The price for one Sedum plant is around $15.95.

You can read more information about Pin Cushion flowers at the Nature Hills Nursery site to either order, read more detailed information about various scabiosa varieties or see more detailed pricing information. You can order by calling 1-888-864-7663 using the Source ID: 86642:

The Stonecrop/Crassulaceae Family
