What to plant in the Fall for a Beautiful Spring Moon Garden?

Hi

What are the best bulbs or plants to put in the ground this fall for a nice spring through fall moon garden for next year? I would like it to be very fragrant and attract butterflies.

thanks
Alexis

I just added some variegated irises; even though the blooms aren't white, the white variegation on the foliage will be nice all year, and some of my floppy poppies can lean on it the rest of the time (hopefully).

I put in some white-flowered alliums, as well as some frittilaria as well. For butterflies, I'd consider Asclepias Ice Ballet, buddleias, maybe beebalm or verbenas? My annual flowering tobacco reseeds every year, I'm so glad I planted it now, those would be high on my list as well.

HTH,

Celene
