Butterfly Border Garden Plan


A sheltered spot along the side of a garage makes a good location for a butterfly garden. We've included many different kinds of nectar and larval plants here as well as a drinking pool and a flat path where the butterflies can sun themselves and gather energy to fly.

The Butterfly Garden features butterfly bush, goldenrod, Joe-pye weed, New England aster, dianthus, verbena and more great-looking plants to attact delightful summertime visitors.

This Butterfly Border Garden Plan was originally published in Garden Gate magazine No. 34.
