How to Attract Butterflies to Your Garden 1.Ditch the pesticides. This doesn’t mean you can’t do pest control in your garden, but certain pesticides, particularly malathion, Sevin, and diazinon, will kill butterflies. 2. Growing native plants in your garden will support pollinators like butterflies and other local fauna that have evolved with the local flora. 3.Keep the sun in mind. Even if you have just a small patch of land or a balcony, if it gets good sun, you could help support butterflies. There’s a reason we often associate butterflies with gorgeous sunny days; they typically only feed in full sun. 4. Plant the right colors. Butterflies like bright colors. Think red, yellow, orange, pink and purple and make sure the blossoms are flat-topped or have short flowering tubes. Using these tips should help you in attracting more butterflies but remember this is nature and it's not an exact science. Be patient it will be worth it when these beautiful creatures arrive at your feeder.
