Create a butterfly garden to add color and fragrance to your yard!
- Plant larval (caterpillar) and nectar plants
- Provide "puddles" for butterflies to drink from, nothing to deep.
- Provide some protection from the wind...this can be shrubs, trees or large rocks.
- Some great plants to try are dill or fennel for the caterpillars (speaking from experience the Swallowtail caterpillars LOVE dill!)
- Plants like lantana, echinacea, rudbeckia, butterfly bushes, and salvias are great plants for butterflies
Stop in any of our garden centers for some great butterfly attracting plants!
