General butterfly friendly plants

Post by nick patel »

Hi,

i know this is a bit vague, but can anyone list me a few (maybe top 10) garden plants that might be worth gettin for the garden (in maybe attracting butterflies to feed and breed).

Excluding Budl. which i already have.

Thanks.

Hi Nick,
I would say, Field Scabious, Wallflower Bowles Mauve, Valerian, Verbena bonariensis, Aubretia, Cuckoo flower, Viper's bugloss,
Bugle, Oreganum vulare (Marjoram) and Birds-foot Trefoil.
That should get you started.

Cheers
Denise
