Butterflies in the Garden
adapted from United States Botanic Garden
Of the many creatures at home in the garden, few can match the beauty of butterflies. They are important pollinators and a delight to see in any garden. A garden that includes plants for the entire life cycle will attract a variety of butterflies. Butterfly larvae need host plants for food and as a place to develop. Adult butterflies require nectar sources for food and plants for egg laying.
There are a few things to remember for planting a butterfly garden. First, place your garden in a sunny place and provide rocks for butterflies to bask in the sun. Butterflies cannot fly until the sun's warmth heats their bodies. Next, plant shrubs and trees nearby to offer a hiding place from predators and shelter from the wind. Then, be sure to provide water so the butterflies can extract minerals and water from damp soil. Lastly, avoid pesticides as they are harmful to butterflies and caterpillars. Additionally, to attract a diversity of butterflies, select a variety of plants with different floral colors, shapes, and sizes.
