"Butterflies are flying flowers,
and flowers are tethered butterflies."
Ponce Denis Écouchard Le Brun
As this quote rightly points out, butterflies and flowers were made for each other. After all, while a garden filled with flowers is a joy to be in, nothing compares to a garden filled with fluttering butterflies. Now for the million-dollar question: How can you attract butterflies to your garden?
The first thing to keep in mind is that butterflies predominantly seek nectar. They look for plants and flowers they can feed on, and also look for host plants for their larvae. Sunny, open spaces, shelter from the wind and fresh water are other factors to bear in mind when creating an inviting garden space for butterflies. Here are 15 beautiful flowers you should add to your outdoor space in the hope of seeing more beautiful butterflies.
1. The Butterfly Bush

2. Fennel

3. Verbena


A wide variety of daisies are the preferred nectaring flowers for butterflies such as the mourning cloak and queen. Daisies also attract painted lady caterpillars.
5. Hollyhock
