Classy, beautiful and disease free flowers that attract butterflies

'Real Comet' is a fun and impressive twist on the classic daisy! Its blooms have extra volume and texture with fringed centers, and you'll be able to enjoy this perennial year after year!

The blooms emerge a light yellow, opening up to present the deep yellow center of the daisy we all know and love. As the blooms mature, the petals slowly fade to a crisp white. The blooms are supported on tall, sturdy stems with deep green foliage serving as the perfect backdrop for the light, fluffy blooms. Enchanting your garden all summer long, you won't be able to resist cutting a few of the blooms to brighten up your home.

One of the most compact dwarf daisies, Belgian Lace reaches just 11 inches high and 16 inches wide. Its small size and clumping habit make it perfect for containers, but it's also right at home in borders, beds and as a mass planting. Butterflies will flock to this little plant, adding extra energy to your garden.

Like all Leucanthemums, 'Real Comet' is super easy to grow, and is generally disease free. It enjoys well drained soil, and can take a bit of drying out between watering. Give this sunny little daisy full sun, and you'll be rewarded tenfold!

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.
