Butterflies in your garden? 🦋 Plant these nectar-rich wildlife favourites in your garden and attract more Butterflies all season long.

From Red Admirals and Peacock butterflies to Tortoiseshells, Common Blues and Swallowtails — attracting Butterflies adds movement, colour and life to your outdoor space. In this video, I share how to design your garden specifically for Butterflies — and why the right plant choices make all the difference. 🦋 Why Butterflies Matter: • Essential pollinators • Indicators of a healthy ecosystem • Incredible natural beauty in motion • Wonderful for children to observe and learn from 🦋 Fascinating Butterfly facts: • Butterflies taste with their feet • They drink nectar using a long proboscis • They have four wings, not two • Their wing colours use “cryptic colouration” to deter predators 🦋 Best plants to attract Butterflies: ✔ Buddleja (Butterfly Bush) – a must-have nectar source ✔ Hebe ‘Midsummer Beauty’ ✔ Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ ✔ Echinacea ✔ Lavender ✔ Echinops (Globe Thistle) ✔ Cornflowers ✔ Achillea Plant a mix that flowers at different times of year to provide continuous nectar for Butterflies from spring through autumn.
