These compact coneflowers are well-branched and covered in richly colored yellow flowers that last for weeks on end and do not fade. The flowers make lovely kitchen table bouquets and attract butterflies and bees, but not deer. To promote flowering over multiple seasons, deadhead flowers that have finished their bloom cycle.

Butterflies like a lot of sunlight, so locate your garden in a sunny area.
If you live in a windy location, plant your butterfly-attracting plants near a building, fence, or hedge to protect them.
Plant a variety of nectar-rich plants, as well as shrubs and evergreens for shelter.
Since many butterflies and native flowering plants have co-evolved, try to put in some that are native to your area. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center provides lists of plants native to states and regions.
Certain colors are particularly attracting to butterflies – red, yellow, pink, purple, or orange blooms that are clustered or flat-topped, with a short flower tubes are especially attractive to adult butterflies.
Avoid using pesticides, especially around nectar-producing plants.
Provide a shallow source of water – try a birdbath with pebbles lining the bowl.
Place a rock in a sunny spot for butterfly basking and resting.
Create a "puddling area" by digging a shallow hole filled with compost or manure where rainwater will collect and release essential salts and minerals.
If you want butterflies to breed in your garden, put in some caterpillar food plants, such as parsley, milkweeds, asters, thistles, violets, clover, grasses, and Queen Anne’s Lace.
Since butterflies need nectar throughout the entire adult phase of their lives, try to create a design that will allow for a continuous bloom – when one stops blooming, another starts.
