There is a wide variety of both butterfly <br />attracting (nectar) plants and host (food) plants cover- <br />ing climates zones throughout the country. <br />Creating a Garden <br />Gardens can range in size from containers to sever- <br />al acres. Butterflies like sunny sites and areas sheltered <br />from high winds and predators. Warm, sheltered sites <br />are most needed in the spring and fall. Butterflies are <br />cold-blooded insects that can only fly well when their <br />body temperatures are above 70oF. They are often seen <br />resting on rocks, which reflect the heat of the sun help- <br />ing to raise their body temperatures, so be sure to <br />include some rocks in your garden. It’s also beneficial <br />to have partly shady areas, like trees or shrubs, so they <br />can hide when it’s cloudy or cool off if it’s very hot. <br />Plants that attract butterflies are usually classified <br />as those that areafood source,anectar source or both. <br />Butterflies require food plants for their larval stages and <br />nectar plants for the adult stage. Some larvae feed on <br />specifichost plants, while others will feed on a variety <br />of plants. If possible, include both larval host plants <br />and adult nectar plants in your butterfly garden. <br />Butterflies also like puddles. Males of several <br />species congregate at small rain pools, forming “puddle <br />clubs”. Permanent puddles are very easy to make by <br />buryingabucket to therim, filling it with gravel or <br />sand, and then pouring in liquids such as stale beer, <br />sweet drinks or water. Overripe fruit, allowed to sit for <br />afew days is a very attractive substance to butterflies <br />as well! <br />Life Cycle of A Butterfly <br />Butterflies go through a four-stage developmental <br />process known as metamorphosis (egg, larva or caterpil- <br />lar, pupa or chrysalis and adult). Understanding a but- <br />terfly’s life cycle can make butterfly watching more <br />enjoyable, andthis knowledge is an important asset to <br />those who want to understand the principles of attract- <br />ingbutterflies to their gardens. <br />Butterflies begin their life as an egg, laid either <br />singly or in clusters depending on the species. A very <br />tiny caterpillar emerges and, after consuming its egg <br />shell, begins feeding on its host plant. Caterpillars must <br />crawl out of their skin or molt, usually around five times, <br />before changing into a pupa. Finally, an adult butterfly <br />emerges, spreads its wings and flies away. <br />Butterflies typically lay their eggs in late spring and <br />hatch 3 to 6 days after they are laid. It takes 3 to 4 <br />weeks for a caterpillar to pupate and 9 to 14 days to <br />emerge as an adult. <br />Host Plants <br />Adult female butterflies spend time searching for <br />food plants required by the immature caterpillar stage. <br />Most butterflies have specific host plants on which they <br />develop. For example, caterpillars of the monarch but- <br />terfly develop only on milkweed, while the black swal- <br />lowtail feeds only on parsley, dill and closely related <br />plants. Planting an adequate supply of the proper host <br />plants gives butterflies a place to lay their eggs, which <br />will successfully hatch and result in butterflies that will <br />continue to visit thegarden. Providing the necessary <br />food plants for the developing caterpillars also allows <br />production of a “native” population that can be <br />observed in all stages ofdevelopment. <br />To enjoy adult butterflies, you have to be willing to <br />allow their caterpillars to feed on foliage in your garden. <br />Food source plants that support caterpillars include the <br />annual marigold, snapdragon and violet; the perennial <br />butterfly milkweed, daisy and various herbs; the ash, <br />birch, cherry, dogwood, poplar and willow trees; lilac <br />shrubs; juniper evergreens and more. <br />The weediness of some host plants makes them less <br />than desirable for a space within your more attractive <br />garden beds, but they serve the same function if you <br />place them away in a corner of the yard. To keep them <br />from becoming invasive, remember to remove their <br />spentblooms before they go to seed. <br />Plants to Attract Butterflies <br />To attract the most butterflies, design a garden <br />that provides a long season of flowers (nectar plants). <br />The time of flowering, duration of bloom, flower color <br />and plant size are all important considerations when <br />selecting plants to attract butterflies. A wide variety of <br />food plants will give the greatest diversity of visitors. <br />Choose a mixture of annuals and perennials. <br />Annuals bloom all summer but must be replanted every <br />spring (after the last frost). Perennials bloom year after <br />year from the same roots but their blooming periods are <br />typically limited to a few weeks or months. To ensure <br />the availability of nectar sources throughout the sum- <br />mer, long-blooming annuals should be planted between <br />the perennials. <br />Try staggering wild and cultivated plants, as well as <br />blooming times of the day and year. Planting in mass <br />(several plants of the same kind) will usually attract <br />more butterflies, as there is more nectar available to <br />them at a single stop. Plants with clusters of flowers <br />are often better than plants with small, single flowers <br />because it is easier for butterflies to landon clustered <br />and/or larger flowers. <br />Many plants which attract butterflies, especially <br />trees and shrubs, may already be present in a specific <br />area. Shrubs include azalea, spirea, butterfly bush and <br />lilacs. Although weeds andsomenative plants are gen- <br />erally not welcomein a garden, allowingthem to grow <br />under supervision may be an option, as these plants <br />help attract butterflies. Try to avoid plants that readily <br />reseed and may take over and dominate garden sites. <br />Perennials, such as chives, dianthus, beebalm, but- <br />terfly weed, mints, black-eyed susan and purple cone- <br />flower offer a succession of blooms, other perennials <br />include coreopsis, lavender, phlox, sedum and yarrow. <br />Add annuals that flower all season, such as cosmos, lan- <br />tana, pentas,petunias, phlox, salvia and zinnias. Select <br />flowers with manysmall tubular flowers or florets like <br />liatris, goldenrod and verbena. Or chose those with sin- <br />gle flowers, such as marigold, daisy and sunflower. <br />Butterflies are attracted to flowers with strong <br />scents and bright colors, where they drink sweet energy- <br />rich nectar. Planting a variety of nectar sources will <br />encourage more butterflies to visit the garden. <br />For better butterfly viewing, plant the tallest <br />plants in the rear of the garden and work smaller or <br />shorter towardthefront. <br />Butterfly <br />Gardens <br />Creating, Growing and Enjoying <br />EARLMAYSEED&NURSERY <br />www.earlmay.com <br />SHENANDOAH, IOWA51603 <br />Butterfly Host Plants(continued) <br />Trees Herbs <br />Ash Dill <br />Birch Parsley <br />Cherry Sweet Fennel <br />Dogwood <br />Linden <br />Poplar <br />Willow <br />Butterfly Attracting Plants <br />Annuals Perennials <br />Ageratum Aster <br />Cosmos Beebalm <br />Gomphrena Blanket Flower <br />Heliotrope Butterfly Milkweed <br />Lantana Coreopsis <br />Marigold Daisy <br />Nasturtium Dame’s Rocket <br />Nicotiana Daylily <br />Pentas Dianthus <br />Petunia Liatris <br />Phlox Phlox <br />Salvia Purple Coneflower <br />Snapdragon Rudbeckia <br />Statice Russian Sage <br />Sunflower Salvia <br />Sweet Alyssum Scabiosa <br />Verbena Sedum <br />Zinnia Veronica <br />Yarrow <br />Shrubs Herbs <br />Azalea Catnip <br />Butterfly Bush Chives <br />Lilacs Lavender <br />Mock Orange Mint <br />Potentilla <br />Viburnun <br />Cut Back on Insecticides <br />It’s difficult to have a successful butterfly garden <br />inalocation where insecticides are used. Pesticides, <br />specifically insecticides, kill not only the insects you <br />want to get rid of – they also kill the insects you want <br />tokeep, such as monarch caterpillars. Even biological <br />controls such as Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) will kill but- <br />terfly larvae. When treating for insect pests, always <br />consider non-chemical methods of pest control before <br />turning to pesticides. <br />Let Your Garden Grow <br />Most butterfly species over-winter nearby. This <br />means that their eggs, chrysalises, or larvae are likely to <br />be in or near your yard during the non-gardening <br />months. Some will even hibernate as adults. Do not <br />mow weed sites, cut down dead plants or dismantle <br />woodpiles which provide them safe shelter in the off- <br />season until the weather warms up. <br />Enjoying Your Butterfly Garden <br />Butterfly gardens are a great source of enjoyment <br />for everyone. Visiting butterflies include a variety of <br />different species and names, depending upon the region <br />of the country in which you live.
