PLANT A BUTTERFLY GARDEN
Attract these graceful pollinators to your garden with these tips:
creating the perfect location
Choose a site that has direct sunlight exposure but is also sheltered from wind. Include a few trees and shrubs for roosting at night and for cooling off on the hottest days.
create staggering heights
Include not only a variety of colors, but plants of differing heights to attract more butterflies. Flowers at certain heights provide specific feeding niches for different butterflies. Some will seek tall flowers, while others prefer flowers closer to the ground.
plant preferences
Attract butterflies with nectar plants, including aster, black-eyed Susan, butterfly bush, butterfly weed, cosmos, ironweed, Joe-Pye weed, phlox, purple coneflower, sedum, and zinnia. Include food plants for the larvae, including dill, fennel, milkweed, and parsley. Remeber to avoid the use of all pesticides and herbicides, which are both highly toxic to butterflies.
plan for future generations
Butterflies are very specific about which host plant they will lay their eggs on, and their caterpillars can be equally discerning and may dine on one plant and one plant only. Intermingle host plants with nectar rich plants in your flower garden to foster one butterfly generation after the next.
provide shelter
Butterflies do need shelter from wind and rain. A simple log pile in a corner of the yard provides butterflies with a place to rest at night or to hibernate over winter. You can also cover log piles with a tarp, which will help them stay dry during downpours.
muddy the water
Butterflies seek shallow puddles in the garden not only as a source of drinking water, but also as a way to obtain vital minerals from the soil. Maintain a puddle station in your garden which is an area of soil that is a puddle with some pebbles for butterflies to land on.
warming rocks
Butterflies are cold-blooded insects that start their day by warming their bodies. Add one or two large, flat rocks in the sun so butterflies have a place to bask in the sunshine.
