More than 150 species will be available with prices ranging from $3 to $15, including many varieties of Florida native flowers, shrubs and trees.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to get some butterfly-oriented plants if people are interested in starting a garden,” said Ryan Fessenden, assistant manager of the Florida Museum’s “Butterfly Rainforest” exhibit.
This year’s sale includes fruit trees as well as two new species of native azaleas.
