Wildlife gardening - attract butterflies

Mike stone said: I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I'm looking forward to looking through the older posts to see what discussions have been going on. I've been working on creating a wildlife garden to attract birds and animals to my urban back garden. What flowers to people recommend to attract butterlfies? Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, Buddleias are probably the best known. They like Sedums and Eupatorium atropurpurea drives them mad. Also good are Marjoram and Origano, herbs that are good for the kitchen and will be covered in Butterflies and Bees of all descriptions. Trim them with garden shears in the early spring. Even Thyme and Rosemary will attract lots of Bees especially Bumbles and best to just let them grow. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |
