E-mail this page to a friend How to create a butterfly garden When planning your butterfly garden, it is a good idea to find out which species are resident in your area and the plants on which they are found. It is also important to provide plants on which the butterflies will lay their eggs and upon which caterpillars can feed. Check Foremost's Butterflies are Blooming site for a list of good nectar sources and larval plants Choosing the Right Spot Since butterflies tend to be more active in the sun, large open sunny areas are an important factor for the garden. Some protection from the wind is also necessary, and this can be provided by planting shrubby nectar and food plants like Buddleia, Honeysuckle, Spice Bush and Hawthorn. A small fence, a row of shrubs, evergreen trees or even a large rock can serve as a shelter from the wind. Butterflies cannot drink directly from open water so it is a good idea to create "puddles" of moist sand or mud. Placing a few rocks or sticks in this "puddle" allows the butterflies to perch and drink. Rocks also provide a site where butterflies can bask to store body heat from the sun.

Plant List Water Fill a shallow dish with sand approx. 1" from the top, add pebbles for the butterflies to land on, then add water. Do not use a sprinkler to water butterfly plants as this can dilute or wash nectar away completely. Puddling: Butterflies feed at puddle margins or moist areas seeking salts or amino acids. Basking Butterflies need to soak up warmth to become active. Place decorative rocks or logs in flower beds to provide a place to sit and spread their wings.

http://hort.ifas.ufl.edu/ggk/butterfly.htm

Extractions: MAJOR COMPONENTS OF A SUCCESSFUL BUTTERFLY GARDEN Adult nectar sources - attract and nourish adult butterflies. Larval host plants - attract ovipositing female butterflies, food source for developing larvae. Shelter - vegetation that provides protection from temperature extremes, storms/rain, predators as well as locations for roosting/sleeping. Water source with fountain - allows for easy and consistent access to water for drinking and thermoregulation. GARDEN DESIGN Provide a combination of adult nectar sources and larval host plants - attracts maximum variety of butterfly species; encourages butterflies to remain in your yard, reproduce and build populations instead of just passing through; allows gardener to appreciate all life history stages. Incorporate native plants into the landscape whenever possible - most larval host plants are natives; adapted to region; produces a small but representative extension of the natural ecosystem; attracts other wildlife. Create horizontal and vertical heterogeneity - choose plants that have different heights and growth habits; creates numerous microclimates which in turn appeal to a greater diversity of butterfly species; provides shelter; creates levels/strata of feeding opportunities).

Butterfly And Hummingbird Gardening Using Annuals
butterfly and hummingbird gardening using annuals. By Karen L. Panter, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Agent.
http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/columngw/grbtrhm.html

Extractions: Here in Colorado we are lucky. Not only do we have many species of butterflies that frequent our area, but we also have several types of hummingbirds that visit the Front Range. Many of these creatures may simply stop in our yards for a break on their way up to the high country. However, if you want to encourage them to stick around for a while, there are a few steps you can take. To set up a butterfly and hummingbird Garden, keep a few simple thoughts in mind. First, realize that each life stage of the butterfly has specific needs. The food sources for immature stages (various caterpillars) and adult butterflies can often be very different. Food supply is critical and so is the physical environment they each need. Since the Front Range of Colorado is prone to high winds at certain times of the year, it is helpful to provide shelter from wind for butterflies. Using windbreaks or a sheltered area is a good start. It is also important to know that most butterflies have specific host plants on which they develop. Monarch butterfly caterpillars will only develop on milkweed. Black swallowtails feed only on parsley, dill and related plants.
