Yellow trillium is a true spring plant: Once its flowers die back at the season's end in June, the foliage recedes, too. Even so, its marbled leaves and delicate yellow-white blooms are a welcome sight in April.
Butterflies are active from early spring until late fall. Plant a selection of flowers that will provide nectar throughout the entire growing season (e.g. spring: blue-berries, clover, wild cherry; summer: milkweeds, coneflowers, thistle; fall: goldenrod, joe-pye weeds). Include host plants in the garden design.
