The most important thing to remember when trying to attract butterflies to your yard is to have flowers that the butterflies will naturally be attracted to. Annuals and perennials are both great to have in your garden to attract butterflies. Butterflies are attract to nectar, so the more often you have flowers blooming in your garden the more likely that you will have butterflies come.
Butterflies are cold blooded creatures, so when planning your butterfly garden, be sure that you have many flowers that are in the sun. Also be sure to use your butterfly feeder in the sunny spots in your garden.
Butterfly feeders, along with beautiful blooming flowers with sweet smelling nectar, should help you attract butterflies to your garden. When using a butterfly feeder be sure that it is cleaned regularly to prevent bacterial growth, which can deter the butterflies. Also with your butterfly feeder, replace the nectar every few days.
