As beautiful as gardens can be, there’s little that’s more beautiful than a butterfly garden. Flowers and herbs of every imaginable color, sweet fragrance in the air, and the sound of peace and quiet? You can’t beat it. And to make it even better, you can enjoy the graceful glide of butterflies on the breeze, hummingbirds stopping by to hover for a drink, and bees gathering pollen to help your food garden produce! A garden rich with flowers, butterflies, and bees might be a dream, but it can be a dream come true.

What are the best potted plants to attract butterflies?
In the late spring/early summer (before it gets too hot), I love a patio pot of pansies – and so do butterflies. Throughout the summer and fall, I always have potted herbs nearby. Lavender, sage and dill are all attractive to butterflies and they’re great culinary herbs too.
