Swarms of beautiful, colorful butterflies will transform your lawn and property into
a magical garden. And it's very easy to entice them to flutter around your
house.
Butterflies are very attracted to flower blossoms that have a heavy
perfumed smell. These types of blossoms contain lots of carbohydrates that are
needed by butterflies to fuel their high-intensity mating rituals and
flower-pollinating activities.
A Butterfly's Favorite Flowers:
- Milkweed
- Valerian
- Buddleia
- Red zinnias
- Orange marigolds
- Lavender
It is best to plant these flowers in a sunny
spot that's also protected from high winds. And feel free to plant a lot of
flowers as butterflies love abundant patches of nectar- producing blossoms.
Choose a variety of flowers so you that you will have at least a few nectar
- bearing blooms throughout the entire summer season. This will keep the
butterflies from having to seek out new feeding grounds so they'll stay around
your house instead of the neighbor's!
