How To Grow Beautiful Butterfly Gardens
Thursday, September 25th, 2008There’s no better ‘spring indicator’ than butterfly gardens. A butterfly garden is designed to invite many varieties of butterflies. Different flowers attract different butterflies’ species, since they show preference for different types of plants. Ideas for your butterfly garden: Coneflower, Blackeyed Susan, Marigolds, Butterfly bush, Lantana, Hibiscus, Verbena, Lilacs, Lavender, Rosemary. Set up a shelter in your butterfly garden, like a butterfly hutch. You can buy it or make it yourself. Slits have to let butterflies in and predators out. Put some branches inside. You also place feeders with sugar water and a small birdbath in your butterfly garden.
