@mellielong Melanie will be able to give you a list of natives sure to be nectar & host plants for butterflies.

I just want to caution you it's best to get any plants from a native plant nursery rather than the big box stores. WalMart, HD & Lowe's have all been found to have plants that had been treated with neonicotinoids which are known to kill pollinators & the substance stays in the plants for years.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
