Horticulture Fact Sheet H-91-004 The University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Cooperative Extension Service Environmental Enhancement with Ornamentals: Butterfly Gardening Mel Garber, Extension Horticulturist Ornamental plants provide homeowners the means to improve their local environment in many ways. Generally, all that is required is a knowledge of appropriate plant varieties and how to utilize them in the landscape. Butterfly populations can be greatly enhanced by devoting a portion of the landscape to butterfly habitat. In addition, to their natural beauty, butterflies serve as valuable plant pollinators. The three necessary ingredients to attract and maintain butterfly populations all summer are: nectar producing plants larval food plants a shallow pool of water Nectar producing plants provide food for the adults (the butterfly) and are necessary to attract and establish a butterfly population. Characteristics of good butterfly attracting plants include: sweet, pungent and highly fragrant flower

Home : Butterfly Gardening Butterfly Gardening South-western Australia has 60 native species of butterfly, plus a few introduced species, such as the cabbage white, monarch and orange palmdart. Many native butterfly species remain in the bushland areas where they breed, but there are about 17 species food-plants in our gardens, particularly the species of plant that their larvae (caterpillars) eat. This is called butterfly gardening. It allows the butterflies to breed, and thus increase their numbers. As an example, the larvae of the yellow admiral eat only native pellitory or closely related plants, such as nettles. ( For most butterfly species in the South-West, there is only one life cycle a year, and the adult butterfly appears in spring or early summer. Some species, however, have several cycles a year, and the butterflies can appear at any season. Adult butterflies feed on juices, such as nectar from flowers. If we simply want to see butterflies in the garden, we can grow nectar plants that butterflies are fond of visiting. However, the most important plants to help butterflies survive are their food-plants. See Butterflies and their food-plants for details about specific food-plants for each species.

Graceful and colorful, butterflies are a welcome addition to any garden. Butterfly gardening involves planning your garden to attract, retain and encourage butterflies. Here are a few tips to help you get you started. The best butterfly gardens are filled with a diversity of colorful and fragrant flowers. Adult butterflies feed on the flower nectar. (Fragrance is often a sign that a flower has lots of nectar.) Many perennials that thrive in the hot, dry conditions of a sunny garden in midsummer are attractive to adult butterflies. Coneflowers, butterfly bush, hyssop and helenium are some of the butterfly-attracting perennials shown on the Plant Pro. For successful butterfly gardening, you also need to provide food sources for the butterfly caterpillars (the immature butterflies). Caterpillars are more specific in their feeding preferences that adult butterflies. For example, the caterpillar of the Monarch butterfly only feeds on milkweed. Host plants for caterpillars include many native trees and shrubs as well as weedy plants such as thistles, nettles and milkweed. If you live in the country or near a natural area, you probably already have some good sources of food for caterpillars. If not, pick an out-of-way corner of your yard to leave ?undisturbed? for the butterfly caterpillars.

Violets and dandelions are good sources of food for these little crawlers. Provide Landing Pads They also like plants and flowers that offer flat landing surfaces. A butterfly can land on a plant and use its tongues or their proboscis to drink the nourishing nectar. Try Warming Stones Butterflies also like dark colored stones where they can land in the morning and warm up using radiated heat. They have to be at 80 degrees before they can fly. Make Mud Puddles Little puddles of mud are also a good way to attract butterflies. For more information about butterfly gardening, check out the following organizations or websites:

Wilson A Sierra Club Book Publication Date: November 1998 Subjects: Recreation and Leisure Gardening Ecology, Evolution, Environment Plants ... Conservation Rights: World 228 pages, 7-1/4 x 9-1/4 inches, 130 color photographs, 8 color illustrations Available Now Description About the Author DESCRIPTION (back to top) This new edition of the classic handbook describes how to attract butterflies and other beneficial and beautiful insects to your garden. Butterfly Gardening presents everything the gardener needs to know to create intricate, small-scale ecosystems in an urban or suburban setting that can substitute for the rapidly vanishing habitats that are essential to the survival of butterflies. Contributors to this volume include Miriam Rothschild, an eminent entomologist, avid butterfly gardener, and expert in wildflower conservation, who describes the life cycle of butterflies, how and what they see, and how this relates to "gardening with butterflies." Landscape architect Mary Booth provides imaginative garden designs and easy-to-follow directions for designing and planting. Edward S. Ross, pioneer of close-up nature photography, discusses observing and photographing butterflies. The book also includes a "Master Plant List" of species that attract butterflies, butterfly food plants listed by geographic region, seed and plant resources, a list of gardening and conservation organizations, and a bibliography of books and periodicals about butterflies.

75. Butterfly Garden Why develop a butterfly garden? Beyond the beauty and life that these nearmagical creatures butterfly gardening - Creating Summer Magic in Your Garden, http://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/mc/services/dep/greenman/butter.htm

Introduction Plant List Related Organizations References ... Zen Gardens Creating a Butterfly Garden Butterflies, for all their fluttering beauty and richness of color, have unfortunately met with much the same treatment as many of the other beneficial organisms in our environment. Their habitat has declined significantly due to the persistent impact of overdevelopment and urban sprawl. Moreover, their very existence is continually threatened by chemical-intensive efforts to eliminate agricultural, lawn, and garden pests. Ron Boender, owner of Butterfly World in Florida once noted that "butterflies were the most sensitive barometer of the entire environment." Their presence around our homes and gardens indicates a vital, healthy ecosystem; their absence, a serious decline in that system's overall health. And Frank Elia at the Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center at Callaway Gardens, Georgia, commented that most perennial beds and borders would have all the makings for fantastic butterfly gardensexcept for the general use of pesticides in those areas. Why develop a butterfly garden? Beyond the beauty and life that these near-magical creatures bring to our gardens and homes, a butterfly garden provides a biological ark: a unique habitat which aids in the preservation of these often endangered insects. And the butterfly garden becomes a unique habitat for gardeners as well, teaching all of us to live without pesticides, to accept some losses to hungry caterpillars, to fit in with a natural, evolving system.

Subscribe Gardening for butterflies ....some basic principles and a Townsville case study Peter Valentine Introduction The idea of gardening for butterflies is not particularly new as naturalists have for centuries been fascinated by this colourful group of insects and the relationships they have with plants. However, in recent years a plethora of publications have emerged which have both encouraged and guided people in converting their gardens into friendly places for butterflies. In both the USA and Britain numerous publications appeared in the 1970s and 1980s which reported on butterfly gardening and they included articles in both insect related journals and plant journals (eg Brewer, 1979; Collman, 1983; Cribb, 1982). Some writers recognised the potential butterfly conservation significance of gardens (eg Owen, 1976). Much of the information available was drawn together in some useful books published in the USA including Tekulsky (1985), Schneck (1990) and Stokes et al.
