Our Butterfly Paradise Pre-Planned Cottage Garden is an easy way to grow a relaxed cottage-style perennial garden. Planting masses of nectar-rich flowers magnifies their visual impact, as well as their appeal to pollinators. Flowers will multiply and spread year after year, offering bold blooms from late spring to late summer and encouraging butterflies to stop for a sip of nectar. The large garden of 30 plants covers 90 sq ft, small garden of 16 plants covers 40 sq ft. This Pre-Planned Garden comes with a garden layout map to make planting easy.

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Exclusive to High Country Gardens, our Butterfly Paradise Pre-Planned Cottage Garden was created by renowned Colorado garden designer, Lauren Springer. Massing plants in groups magnifies their impact, which is not only beautiful to look at, but beneficial as well: clusters of flowers help attract pollinators, making it easy for butterflies to find your garden and fuel up on nectar from plant to plant. This garden includes a mix of North American native plants as well as plants from around the world with nectar-rich blooms.
The Butterfly Paradise Pre-Planned Cottage Garden is available in two sizes, and comes with a garden map and care and planting instructions. For best results, we recommend planting with Yum Yum Mix and Root Stimulator Combo Pack.
The large garden covers 90 sq ft (12 ft x 8 ft) and includes 30 plants:
Plants are subject to change due to availability. Any substitutions will feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the garden design. Not all plants will be in bloom at the same time, as may be depicted in the artist’s rendering.

Planting and Caring for Pre-Planned Gardens & Collections
Soil Preparation: Remember that proper soil preparation is the key to healthy, vigorous blooming perennials. Use Yum Yum Mix and a high quality compost at recommended rates to prepare the soil. Inoculate the plant roots with Plant Success mycorrhizal inoculant.
Planting: Plant according to the mature size of the plant. Don’t be tempted to put the plants too close based on their size in the pots. They’ll need the space to grow and fill in the expected area.
Fertilizing: Once annually in mid-fall, after plants begin to go dormant. Use Yum Yum Mix or Yum Yum Mix Winterizer at recommended rates to improve the soil and provide essential plant nutrients.Use it with high quality compost, mix half and half by volume and spread on top of the soil. Scratch it in lightly and water thoroughly. It is also beneficial to treat the plant roots with Plant Success® mycorrhizal root inoculant if you didn’t do so at planting time. (Inoculation only needs to be done once.)
Mulching: In arid climates mulching is very beneficial. Coarse textured composts, shredded leaves, pine needles and composted bark are all excellent mulch materials. Apply to a depth of 1-2 inches. Replenish annually (or as needed).
