And because native plants are well adapted to your climate, soil conditions, and so on, they should also be easier to care for. Keep the blooms coming. Remember, butterflies will have a number of generations per year, so be sure to choose plants with staggered bloom times to provide nectar throughout the season. Consider the sun. Place the garden in a sunny area.
Butterflies prefer nectar from sun-loving plants.
Also include dark, flat stones. These will absorb the sun's heat and provide a warm spot where adults can bask, dry their wings, and warm their bodies for flying. Use large splashes of color. Butterflies will hone in on bold clumps of colorful flowers. Keep a number of plants with similar flower colors together.
