Too late?

moonfishies
19 years ago

We live in the New England area and I was wondering if it's too late to plant a small butterfly garden? If not, anyone have any ideas on what plants are hardy enough for late summer/early fall in this area?

Would love to plant something fun for my preschooler and me to enjoy together.

Thanks!
