This native seed gift pack is designed to support butterflies in the garden, featuring five wildflower seed packages that provide nectar, habitat, and serve as host plants for butterflies native to the U.S. Inside each hand-printed packet, you’ll find Great Blue Lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), whose late-summer blooms attract swallowtails; Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa), a host plant for Monarchs and a nectar favorite for many species; Early Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides), with tall yellow blooms in the summer; Maryland Figwort (Scrophularia marilandica), an important pollinator magnet; and Eastern Beebalm (Monarda bradburiana), a fragrant midspring flower that supports butterflies with delicate light purple/pink flowers.
Each species was grown and collected in New York State, chosen for its ecological value and adaptability to home gardens, meadows, and restoration landscapes. The seeds are packaged in handprinted linocut envelopes, each featuring artwork inspired by the native butterflies and pollinators these plants support. The five packets are bundled together in a gift envelope printed with a native Painted Lady Butterfly, creating a meaningful gift for anyone passionate about supporting biodiversity.
Specific cultural requirements are printed on the back of each packet, with further growing details available on their respective listings. Every gift pack also includes a germination guide to help your seeds take root and flourish.
