    Extractions: Joe Schaefer, Craig N. Huegel, and Frank J. Mazzotti Few outdoor activities are more rewarding and easily available than attracting butterflies to a well-designed butterfly garden. Creating a butterfly garden can be as simple as planting a windowsill box or as complex as landscaping many acres. To be successful in any situation, however, requires the correct choice of plants. The total butterfly garden takes into account the food preferences of both adult butterflies and their caterpillars. Many butterfly species will drink nectar from a variety of flowering plants, but their caterpillars often are greatly limited in the number of plants on which they can feed. It is not necessary to plant larval food plants to attract butterflies, but adults tend to stay fairly close to the areas where their larval food plants can be found. All of this requires planning. There are a few basic rules to follow. You can be as creative as you wish, but you must start with a plan that considers the requirements of the butterflies you wish to attract and the plants you will use to lure them. Butterfly gardening is an exacting (not difficult) pursuit and must be based on butterfly preferences-not human ones. Luckily, butterfly and human favorites are mostly compatible.

    Extractions: BUTTERFLY GARDENING IN CONTAINERS A group of containers massed in a bright, sunny area can be very beautiful and also attract butterflies. Petunias, lobelia, and sweet alyssum have a wonderful scent as well as color. Other nectar flowers to consider are ageratum, cosmos, daylily, and rudbeckia daisies. Shrubs such as butterfly bush and hibiscus also grow well in containers, and vines such as wisteria, trumpet vine, or passion vine make a beautiful backdrop. The herbs fennel, dill and parsley will attract butterflies for feeding and serve as host plants for laying eggs. In shadier areas, on trellis ends, or in gazebos, consider using hanging baskets of impatiens. An alternative food source for butterflies is a homemade feeder filled with a solution of 4 parts water to 1 part granulated sugar. Boil the solution for several minutes until sugar is dissolved, and then let cool. Serve the solution in a shallow container with an absorbent material such as paper towels saturated with the sugar solution. Bright yellow and orange kitchen scouring pads may be placed in the solution to attract butterflies and give them a resting place while they drink. Place the feeder among your nectar flowers on a post that's 4-6 inches higher than the tallest blooms. Extra solution can be stored in your refrigerator for up to a week. Butterfly gardening can become more than just watching your garden visitors. You may find yourself keeping a journal of the different species that visit and the various plants they prefer. Your journal can lead to discoveries and the planting of new varieties to attract more of your favorites!

    Extractions: Adult butterflies feed on flower nectar, using it as an energy source for flight and egg production. Some butterflies also are attracted to moist soil at puddles and pond edges and fermenting sap exuding from wounds on tree trunks. Butterflies rest, hidden in foliage of plants, during nights and on cloudy or rainy days. Butterflies are most abundant from spring through fall. Several species of butterfliesmonarchs, cloudless sulfurs and snout butterflies migrate during late summer and fall. Plants that flower throughout the summer and into October and November attract migrating butterflies. Nursery flowers that are excellent nectar sources include white mist flower Eupatorium wrightii , white; blue mist flower Eupatorium greggii , bluish-purple; lantana Lantana spp., in assorted colors; scarlet sage Salvia coccinea , red; Indigo spires sage Salvia butterfly weed Asclepias tuberosa , orange; and

    Extractions: I'm hoping that this page will be helpful to others starting a butterfly garden in a comparable climate. I'm a beginner at this, so I will be writing what I learn. My backyard butterfly garden was born on St. Patrick's Day of 2002. After researching the topic and asking for advice (receiving helpful comments like "The Danaus plexippus is attracted to Asclepias syriaca " Translation: Them yeller monarchs sure dig milkweed , I started my garden. Being a naturalist-vegan-hippie-type, I decided that I wanted an all-organic bed with sun-loving perennials attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. I went to an Austin nursery called The Great Outdoors , an environmentally-conscious south Austin nursery. They recommended a safe compost, fertilizer, mulch, and several plants. I later added flowers and fertilizer from TexZen Gardens , a superb nursery in central Austin. What I loved about TexZen is the couple who run it: they are friendly and knowledgeable and offered great advice. Their shop provides customers with a user-friendly atmosphere for even the most ignorant of gardeners (me!).

    Extractions: This page last updated June 2, 2000 Why butterfly gardens? Aside from the beauty, peacefulness and serenity they create, you mean? In brief: survival of most species on this planet - and that includes humans. While talking with my friend Mitch Thomashow , an expert in environmental science, I asked him, "What's the greatest threat to the ecology today, and what can we do - I mean really do , in a hands-on sense - to help prevent it?" His answers: "Many pollinators are dangerously near extinction. This is due to a combination of factors, but mostly loss of habitat and overuse of pesticides. Without pollinators, most of the plants we - and most other species - need to survive will die out. What can you do about it? Probably the best thing to do is to make a butterfly garden: give pollinators a habitat." So, why not? You can do it in a city, suburb, town, farm, etc. Yes, it takes a little time and money, but not that much - and it's very rewarding. I now tour butterfly gardens on my trips, paying the entrance fee to encourage their development and growth. And they're beautiful! Very peaceful to be in, and far more entertaining than television. So give it a try - why not save the planet?

    Extractions: Gardening for Butterflies by Gary A. Dunn, M.S., F.R.E.S., Y.E.S. Director of Education Introduction There's something magical about the way that ugly little caterpillars can transform themselves into free-spirited butterflies. Butterflies go where they please, and they please where they go! If you would like to significantly increase the chance that butterflies will visit your yard, then butterfly gardening is for you. There are many ways to restore or improve natural butterfly habitats, or to create new ones by designing and creating butterfly gardens. Butterfly gardens can be created in window boxes, small flower beds, entire backyards, vacant lots, parks, and even indoor greenhouses. Are butterflies important? Butterflies are very important in our world and this fact often gets overlooked. There are about 120,000 species of butterflies in the world (10,000 in North America). The aesthetic and entertainment value of butterflies ranks very high for many people, but butterflies are more than beautiful; they are important "threads" that keep the "fabric" of nature from unraveling. Butterflies are extremely important as plant pollinators, and as food for other animals (birds, mammals, amphibians, spiders, and other insects). Butterflies are also very sensitive to changes in the environment, and help warn us about unhealthy changes that are taking place. Only two species of native butterflies have larvae (caterpillars) that are occasional pests: the mourning cloak and the alfalfa butterfly. The cabbage butterfly, an introduced species, is now extremely abundant and sometimes causes damage to cabbage and related crops.
