Butterfly Garden

The Butterfly Garden was established in 1991 by the Story County Master Gardeners. Native perennials and shrubs that provide nectar for adult butterflies or food for larvae are planted here. Iconic butterfly plants include Echinacea purpurea (coneflower) species, Asclepias tuberosa (butterfly milkweed) and Aesculus parviflora (bottlebrush buckeye).
