What type of BUTTERFLIES are you trying to attract?
I am successfully attracting Black Swallowtails, Tiger Swallowtails, and Monarch Butterflies to my butterfly garden.
What NECTAR and HOST plants are in your garden?
Host: parsley, dill, fennel, and milkweed
Nectar plants: butterfly bush, zinnias, gerber daisies, black eyed Susan’s, Phloxes, catmint, butterfly weed, sedum, coneflowers, lanced-leaved coreopsis, aster, liatris, salvia, allium, and marigold
I also gave grasses where the butterflies can rest at night and hid and a plate for puddling.
