Butterfly Garden
CREATE A LUSH ISLAND BED OF FLOWERS THAT WILL BRING BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES TO YOUR GARDEN.
The stained-glass patterns of butterflies will add an extra dimension to this floral island bed, which bursts with perennial and annual flowers that are irresistible to these pretty creatures. A variety of blossoms offer nectar to adult butterflies, while leafy food sources, such as parsley, nourish the larvae. The one shrub in the design is commonly called "butterfly bush" for good reasonit lures butterflies of all sorts. Rocks are convenient perches for butterflies to sun themselves, and a birdbath provides water. Butterflies are sun-loving creatures, as are the plants in this garden. Locate it where it receives six or more hours of sun daily. And remember: No pesticides are allowed in your butterfly garden.
