Default Attracting Butterflies

Luke,

The Buddleia family are very attractive to butterflies and moths. They have
delightful flowers and are quite drought tolerant and pest free. Prune them
by 75% each winter for production of new canes and flowers through spring
and summer. Really good old fashioned plants.

Many of the Lantana are also attractive to butterflies. Choose the
varieties that don't seed freely or they can become a weed in bushland.
Here in the SW of WA winter frosts burn some of the tender varieties but
they reshoot each spring and power on.


Enjoy

Hi,

Can anyone recommend plants that attract butterflies? I live in Adelaide.

Cheers
