Providing late season nectar means this Ageratina altissima 'Chocolate' (snakeroot, boneset) was proving popular with pollinators especially bees and butterflies. This herbaceous perennial has purple stems with dark chocolate-brown tinged leaves that have faded in the autumn. There are clusters of small white flowers during the summer and early autumn.

At the entrance to the beautiful Arduaine Garden, Scotland, a large shrub covered in scented flowers was greeting visitors, and was most likely Buddleja macrostachya (long spiked butterfly bush). This semi-deciduous shrub is not completely hardy and is best grown in a sheltered, warm location or placed in a glasshouse for protection over the winter.

does anyone want to be my butterfly friend so we can hang out on the top of a daisy, drink nectar and talk about beautiful things? #butterflyfriendly #butterflygirl #butterflies🦋 #friendsforever #friendshipgoals #flowertoflowers🌸🌺☀🌼 #flowerpower #nectargang #nectarofthegods #funtimes (at Catalina Foothills, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTxkxUTBulejgiYDI6fqfLqpp0i2kmXHQREbb40/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finding your citrus trees being munched by dozens of these is a small price to pay for them to turn into the Dainty Swallowtail. #sprayfreegarden #butterflyfriendly #butterflyconservationsa (at Adelaide, South Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwOgPp9HmNA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vyhmtvh3kn87

Dads worked his butt off this year to get the garden looking cute! I even had my own input and made him get flowers which were favourites of butterflies and bees #beefriendlygarden #beefriendly #butterflyfriendly #englishgarden #gardening
