What could be better than kicking back after
a hard day's work and enjoy watching
butterflies flit peacefully around your very
own garden? Here are some tips for making your
fantasy come true!
- Butterflies love color! Choose a variety of
plants for best results.
- Plant flowers in groups. These are easier
for butterflies to see.
- Butterfly-loving flowers include Hibiscus,
Rosemary, Asters, Daylilies and Black-eyed Susans,
among others.
- Provide both sunny, open areas and shady ones
for butterfly sunning and resting.
- A little overripe fruit is delicious to your
colorful winged friends!
- Plant some flowers in pots you can move around.
- Discover what butterflies are native to your
region in the US.
