Tips to Attract Butterflies

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or in this case, any eyes that behold this magnificent blanket flower! Its dazzling bi-color display looks gorgeous electrifying the landscape or bursting from a vase. Those pretty ruby and yellow petals attract more than just human eyes, they draw in plenty of butterflies as well! 'Cutie' is an enthusiastic grower with a particularly long bloom time making it a wonderful season extender! As durable as it is lovely, this blanket flower resists deer and rabbits with ease and is incredibly easy to maintain. Find a home for them in normal or sandy soil and don't water it too much because it actually prefers dryer soil. Plant then in masses or tuck them into your borders for a pop of sizzling color!

Butterflies like a lot of sunlight, so locate your garden in a sunny area.

If you live in a windy location, plant your butterfly-attracting plants near a building, fence, or hedge to protect them.

Plant a variety of nectar-rich plants, as well as shrubs and evergreens for shelter.

Since many butterflies and native flowering plants have co-evolved, try to put in some that are native to your area. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center provides lists of plants native to states and regions.

Certain colors are particularly attracting to butterflies – red, yellow, pink, purple, or orange blooms that are clustered or flat-topped, with a short flower tubes are especially attractive to adult butterflies.

Avoid using pesticides, especially around nectar-producing plants.

Provide a shallow source of water – try a birdbath with pebbles lining the bowl.

Place a rock in a sunny spot for butterfly basking and resting.

Create a "puddling area" by digging a shallow hole filled with compost or manure where rainwater will collect and release essential salts and minerals.

If you want butterflies to breed in your garden, put in some caterpillar food plants, such as parsley, milkweeds, asters, thistles, violets, clover, grasses, and Queen Anne’s Lace.

Since butterflies need nectar throughout the entire adult phase of their lives, try to create a design that will allow for a continuous bloom – when one stops blooming, another starts.

  Wayside Gardens always has a great selection of plants, and lots of great new introductions each year. Their website/catalog provides great information about their plants. I have been shopping with Wayside for the 30+ years I have owned my house. I am really looking forward to adding these plants to my garden.

  I am very happy with the quality and size of my plant material especially the root systems which were more than adequate and not pot bound at all. I am switching my large leaf Hydrangea for some smaller varieties and am looking forward to replanting in the spring.
