Hello, butterfliers! (I'm back at DG and to BF gardening after a several year hiatus!)

Please, Could all of you Midwesterners share with me your 3-5 favorite Nectar Plants? Both 'Early Season' And 'Late Season'? I need some new ideas.

I am replanting my butterfly plot (pictured) and only want to add the most popular plants.

(FYI I'll set up a another thread for Milkweed preferences.)

Hope you're all having a great butterfly year and seeing lots of Monarchs.

Cheers! tabasco
