Try looking for info at your local library. You should be able to find
some books dedicated to butterfly gardens and just gardening in
general. Nothing beats the good old library for comprehensive
information.

I don't know anything about "Butterfly Gardens". If the purpose
is to attract Butterflies, look into a butterfly bush (Buddleja
davidii). If space is a concern... Butterfly bushes can become
quite unruly.

Look into Milkweed if you want Monarch butterflies. Monarch
butterflies lay their eggs only on milkweed leaves.

These plants thrive and attract butterflies in central North Carolina.
I don't know about the rest of the world. Do a little research on
growing these plants in your area.

Greetings, in order to attract and keep butterflies on your site you
need to plant both
nectar and host plants, thereby, providing both food and shelter.

There is a free butterfly online garden course located here.

I cut mine to the ground each spring. They grow to around 4'x4' then.

What do you need to know? I am in the middle of planting mine down here
in Texas and have done tons of research on what the butterfiles and
hummers like. I'd be glad to help if I can.

I was referring to cutting down my butterfly bushes. How do you show
the quote you are responding to?
