Default How do I attract butterflies

Subject: How do I attract butterflies
From: (Craig)

Message-id:

I am a novice gardener with only a small back yard and small flower
bed at my disposal. I have heard in the media that butterflies are
under threat in the UK. I would be grateful of advice as to which
plants I should grow to help sustain our butterfly population.


Try this:

A general rule of thumb though, is anything with bright flowers and strong
scent will attract all sorts of wildlife, not just butterflies
