Butterfly plants are an absolute must for the conscientious gardener. If you want to see more pollinators and increase your gardening yields this year, you need one (or more) of these flowers in the yard.

Butterflies love to visit gardens filled with vibrant flowers and many insects and bugs to feast on. Let’s be honest; the beauty of our garden gets better when these flutters of life visit it and jump from one flower to another. A yard filled with butterflies is truly a sight for your eyes.

Save The Monarch, It's Going Extinct

Unfortunately, many butterfly populations are declining due to the loss of habitat and limited food sources. Today, gardeners are leaning more toward adding butterfly plants to their landscaping to solve this problem. Knowing that the butterfly plant is not just another beautiful plant in your yard; it is a powerhouse of pollinators that helps these lovely creatures to feed, breed, and thrive.

FAQ

What is the best plant to attract butterflies?

The best plant to attract butterflies is milkweed, which provides both nectar and a place for monarchs to lay their eggs. It’s easy to grow, low maintenance, and blooms beautifully through summer. Milkweed turns any garden into a lively pollinator haven.

How to increase the number of butterflies?

To increase the number of butterflies, plant nectar-rich flowers like milkweed, coneflowers, and butterfly bush. Avoid using pesticides. Provide sunny spots and host plants where butterflies can feed, rest, and lay eggs naturally.

What is the host plant for the monarch butterfly?

The only host plant for the monarch is milkweed. Monarchs will only lay eggs on milkweed not other plant, and the caterpillars rely on its leaves for nourishment. Planting milkweed is the most effective way to support and attract monarchs to your garden.
