GARDEN SECRETS
Create a haven for beautiful fluttering butterflies
1
BUTTERFLY MAGNETS Like aerial ballerinas, delicate bu erflies in their vibrant colours bring dreamy fantasy to gardens – and luring them starts with picking the right plants.
2
BRIGHT AND BREEZY Mix nectar-rich, shallow-blossomed colourful blooms such as everlasting and paper daisy, verbena, brachyscome, buddleia and marigold.
3
MAINTAIN BALANCE The caterpillars from which bu erflies develop can damage plants, but it’s usually insignificant, so set up no-spray zones of blooms.
