Besides Butterfly Plants, What Attracts Butterflies?

Understanding why butterflies seem attracted to some areas but ignore others is helpful. They have some specific needs you must meet to bring them calling.

• Water puddles: Butterflies need a water source to help keep cool in the summer. So placing some butterfly plants near a bird bath or a butterfly "puddler" will make your garden more attractive.
• Continuous blossoms: Butterflies rely on nectar from blossoms for sustenance. Plant various flowering species that will "rotate" and bloom in continuous cycles.
• Plant native species: Butterflies have evolved to eat a diet of native plants. TN Nursery specializes in North American native plants, so when you order from us, you'll provide this for your winged friends.
• The shape and color of butterfly plants matter: They love flowers with a flat petal or cup shape but can also extract nectar from short trumpets. Their favorite colors are pink, purple, orange, red, and yellow.
• Include milkweed to help restore monarchs: Milkweed is the only plant that can feed Monarch butterfly larvae and caterpillars. Include it to help restore this threatened species.

Our Best-Selling Butterfly Plants

Although we have too many butterfly plants listed online to include in this overview, we suggest your check out these three top sellers:

• Coneflower: Available in two beautiful colors, yellow or purple, the coneflower attracts butterflies, birds, bees, and many other pollinators. It's about three feet tall and lovely in the middle row of a garden border.
• Butterfly weed: As the name suggests, this tall, orange full sunflower attracts myriad butterflies. It's beautiful in a casual garden, cutting garden, or a sunny natural area.
• Yarrow: The cup-shaped white yarrow flowers are the perfect shape, and the bright yellow center will catch the attention of any butterflies nearby. It's an easy-care, quick-growing plant.
