The Flower Is Calming And Beautiful
The beauty of gardening is partially the artistic arrangement of the flowers in various shades, shapes and patterns; yet it is also the ability to escape into nature right in your very own backyard, indulging in pleasant scents and tranquil moments.
While surrounding ourselves with a wildflower bouquet is largely a matter of choice, it is a matter of survival for delightful creatures like butterflies and hummingbirds. It is easy to design a beautiful butterfly and hummingbird flower garden. The flower varieties, of course, are only part of the planning; you’ll also need water, a mix of sun and shade, hiding spots and breeding grounds.
The flower varieties you choose will make a big difference. Planting larger groups of flowers will help butterflies notice them. Many gardeners start with a purple or bicolor butterfly bush and surround it with perennials. Consider the purple coneflower, black-eyed Susan, Brazilian verbena, daylily, catmint, lavender, phlox, goldenrod, ironweed plant, aster and sedum.
Annual favorites for a butterfly-magnet flower garden include zinnias, marigolds, cosmos, sweet alyssum, cleome and lantana. These are the beauties of your garden, but you’ll need to also be considerate of your larvae hosts. They like to snack on parsley, dill, bronze fennel, milk weed and nettle.
