Creating a butterfly garden, fun and easy!

Creating a butterfly garden is not only fun, but it is also very easy. The most important thing to remember when planning your butterfly garden is that to attract butterflies, it is important to have flowering plants that bloom in succession from early spring to late autumn. The more flowers you have, the more attractive it becomes to butterflies. This is why it is important to plant a large variety of plants when creating a butterfly garden.

What are the best plants for creating a butterfly garden?

All bulbs and flowering plants that are rich with nectar are suitable for creating a butterfly garden. Grape hyacinths, dahlias, Buddleia davidii (Butterfly Bush) and autumn aster's are excellent. Flowering shrubs such as Viburnum (Snowball) are also rich with nectar. Still, butterflies can be fussy. Different species of butterflies are attracted to different plants. Peacock butterflies are very fond of periwinkle, for example, while cabbage whites prefer nasturtiums.
