Growing Tips for Butterflies

Plant butterfly-friendly flowers such as milkweed, verbena, and coneflower to attract butterflies to your garden. Provide a water source like a shallow dish filled with marbles for butterflies to sip on. Avoid using pesticides in your garden to protect the delicate butterflies. Create a butterfly house with plants like parsley and dill where butterflies can lay their eggs. Trim back overgrown plants to create space for butterflies to flutter around.
