ATTRACTING BUTTERFLIES
Butterflies are a beautiful addition to any garden and they make great pollinators. According to the National Wildlife Federation, it's important to plant native flowering plants in your garden:
"Because many butterflies and native flowering plants have co-evolved over time and depend on each other for survival and reproduction, it is particularly important to install native flowering plants local to your geographic area. Native plants provide butterflies with the nectar or foliage they need as adults and caterpillars."
To find the right plant for your space to attract butterflies to your garden, visit the NC State Extension Toolbox.
