Interesting Facts for and about Butterfly Gardens

A butterfly garden is one of the easiest gardens to plant and maintain. Its sole purpose is to attract butterflies. With just a little research you can start planning your butterfly garden.

Colors
Butterflies can see more colors than humans. A colorful garden is easier for butterflies to find, and the nectar-filled flowers will encourage them to stay a while.

Temperature Sensitive

Butterflies are cold-blooded and cannot regulate their internal temperature. However, they do enjoy sunning themselves for warmth. Open, sunny areas in a butterfly garden provide places for butterflies to rest and enjoy a little sunbathing.

Puddle Jumpers

Butterflies will congregate at puddles. Rocks with bowl-like formations to trap water encourage butterflies to linger in the garden for a drink. Adding a bit of stale beer or sweet drink to the water from time to time is a big attraction.
