Good flowering plants for a Butterfly Garden in Zone 6? And also plants to attract hummingbirds?

I am right between zone 5 and 6 and am looking for plants that butterflies and hummingbirds are attracted to.

1. Zinnias will attract both and are about the easiest flowers to grow. Moon flowers attract hummers. Both will do well in your zone.
2. Buddleia is actually called butterfly bush because they love it so much. Hummingbirds like deep, tubular flowers like trumpet vine.
3. blue scabiosa,butterfly weed
4. Take a look at our website at SKWildflower-rescue.net. We are zone 6 in Northern New Jersey and raise butterflies for release into the wild. We also have several large butterfly gardens and hummingbird gardens. We have multiple pages on Butterfly and Hummingbird Gardening.
