Tips to Attract Butterflies
Dry Weather Tips

'Anouk' is a unique, new compact lavender with beautiful silver foliage and dark violet flowers topped by lavender petal-like bracts. This is a heavy spring bloomer that is drought tolerant and will stand up to even the hottest summers. The new Lavender was discovered and selected on a single plant within a population of 'Anouk' plants in a controlled outdoor nursery in The Netherlands in June, 2006. It is characterized by its compact and upright plant habit, good garden performance, unique silver foliage, and freely flowering habit with large dark violet-colored flowers. This lavender is not only stunning, but it is durable and disease resistant so no need to fret over it. 'Anouk' is a perfect landscape accent as it keeps its stunning color all year long. Add it to borders, rock gardens, or even patio containers for an irresistible stunner.

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.

Tips for gardening in particularly hot, dry climates:

1. Water with a drip system whenever possible – soak the bed slowly and thoroughly to a depth of 10" to 12".

2. Watering deeply every 3 to 5 days is preferable to a shallow daily watering.

3. Water in the early morning, so foliage has time to dry.

4. Add a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch or similar material to aid in water retention and help keep the roots cool during hot weather.
