Butterfly Garden Design Step by Step
What kind of butterfly garden plants should you include in a garden for butterflies ....perennials or annuals? Perennials come up every year and therefore are more carefree. Annuals need to be planted every year, but have the advantage that they usually bloom longer, often all summer. It is best to have a combination of annuals and perennials in your butterfly garden design.

Attracting butterflies, bees and birds to your herb garden is an added benefit to having the fresh herbs.

To attract butterflies, you will be focusing on brightly colored blooms and a safe environment for them to enjoy the nectar, rest, and have a drink.
