Butterflies are attracted to colorful flowers. Planting perennials like coneflowers, butterfly bush, and black-eyed Susans can create a beautiful butterfly garden.
Consider adding milkweed to your garden to attract monarch butterflies. Monarchs lay their eggs on milkweed, making it essential for their life cycle.
Lavender, bee balm, and phlox are also great choices to attract butterflies. These flowers provide nectar and a landing pad for butterflies to rest.
Coreopsis, salvia, and verbena are other perennial flowers that butterflies love. Create a diverse garden with different flower shapes and colors to attract various butterfly species.
Remember to provide a water source like a shallow dish with rocks for butterflies to drink from. Avoid using pesticides in your garden to protect these beautiful pollinators.
By planting a variety of perennial flowers that bloom at different times, you can enjoy a continuous display of butterflies in your garden throughout the season.
