10 Ways to Impress Butterflies
Butterflies are great pollinators, not just beautiful faces. Choosing plants they like is the first step in attracting them, but there are many other tricks to lure them into your garden and have them stay awhile. We must also remember that they have 2 distinct growth forms and we have to cater to both the caterpillar and the flying beauty it turns into.
Read how you can easily provide butterflies with what they need, so they not only visit but stay awhile. Discover what their favourite colour is, and no, it's not red. Plant red for the hummingbirds, they love it.
