121. NCSU: ENT/ort-8 PLANTING A BUTTERFLY GARDEN
     4H Entomology Insect Note 08 (ENT/ort-08) PLANTING A butterfly GARDEN butterflyGardening Creating Summer Magic in Your Garden by The Xerces Soc.  
     http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/ent/notes/4H/butterfly8.html
     
     Extractions: This note prepared by S. Bambara and J. Baker, Extension Entomologists. Butterflies are colorful and interesting insects that have long been the favorites of collectors. Today, there are fanciers who, rather than pin dead specimens, prefer to watch them flitter about in a natural setting. If you are among this group, there are several things you can do to attract a butterflies to your yard or garden. Butterflies have an excellent sense of smell. Use older varieties with more scent rather than hybrid varieties which may be milder in odor. Adult butterflies may live from two weeks to several months. Where do they go? Usually, butterflies lay eggs and become caterpillars that feed on a plant different from the one on which the adult feeds. These host plants can be weeds, or nearby trees, so you don't necessarily need to supply host plants. Only a few butterflies have a caterpillar which is actually a pest. One is the imported cabbageworm, which feeds on cabbage and broccoli-type plants. These can be controlled with nonchemical bacterial pesticide. Another is the black swallowtail caterpillar (parsleyworm) which feeds on parsley, dill, and carrots. However, they seldom eat enough to do significant damage. A water supply is not essential, but can serve as a resting spot for some to drink and obtain minerals. If you can't create a nice mud puddle, sink a container full of sand into the ground and keep it moist.

     Extractions: The homeowners want a gathering place in their backyard for relaxation. They love to entertain and want the yard to look beautiful from the house and deck. Their special request is to have a garden that will attract butterflies. Landscape architect Sid Parrott does just that, creating a flower-filled area that will provide a lovely spot in which to linger. A covered swing, lattice panels, and a variety of perennials and shrubs give structure to the new area. As the new plantings mature, they will help add to the sense of privacy.

You can encourage them to stay, however, by growing plants that both butterflies and caterpillars like to eat. And now you can invite them onto the deck or patio as well. Make a container garden "restaurant" just for them! Here's how: Materials: a large container or pot at least 18" in diameter (a terra-cotta pot is used here)

     Grow a butterfly Garden Christine Dvornik. Step Two Choose a location foryour butterfly garden with good soil and plenty of direct sunlight.  
     http://www.familyeducation.com/article/0,1120,67-24270,00.html
     
     Extractions: A small garden plot, a few large planters, or windowboxes What to do: Step One: Butterflies like flowers that are fragrant, have large petals or blossoms, and require bright sunlight. These types of plants give butterflies easy access to their food: nectar from the flowers. Which flowers are best? Try giant swallowtail, prickly ash, swallowtail ash, violets, pansy, pearl crescent, asters, milkweed, ageratum, beebalm, bougainvillea, calendula, coneflower, dahlia, daylily, geranium, hibiscus, marigold, milkweed, snapdragon, yellow sage, and zinnia. Step Two: Choose a location for your butterfly garden with good soil and plenty of direct sunlight. Step Three: Make sure the garden soil is moist, then begin to plant your plants or seeds (see seed packets for directions). Keep in mind that groups of flowers are easier for butterflies to migrate to, so plant your flowers in bunches. Step Four: Lay some flat stones on the ground near your flowers. Butterflies will perch on the stones and bask in the sun.
