Gardening for Butterflies. Because butterflies are attracted to flowers, it is easy to plant a garden that both you and they can enjoy. Some of the species you may attract are listed in the table at right. A butterfly-friendly garden contains both adult nectar plants and caterpillar host plants. A few common vegetables also serve as caterpillar host plants. Many butterfly gardeners plant extra vegetables, enough for them and their caterpillars. As an added bonus, butterfly gardens often attract hummingbirds.
If your garden has this, then you can also grow many plants that will feed them and give them somewhere to roost at night. The important thing is that the plants you grow are rich in nectar as this is the main part of the butterfly and moth diet.oth butterflies and moths help to pollinate flowers so that the plants will have fruit and seed, so they are good for your wildlife garden. Unfortunately, because of the reduction in the plants that feed them, there are not as many butterflies and moths about as there used to be.
