Butterfly-loving flowers include Hibiscus,Rosemary, Asters, Daylilies and Black-eyed Susans, among others.
Provide both sunny, open areas and shady ones for butterfly sunning and resting.
A little overripe fruit is delicious to your colorful winged friends!
Plant some flowers in pots you can move around.
