Tips on how to create a butterfly garden

Tips
The Tropical Milkweed can be started from seed in the winter.
 * If there are Monarch butterflies in your area, they are very easy to attract. Swamp Milkweed (noted above) or Tropical Milkweed (annual in colder climates) are excellent host plants for them.
 * Butterflies are relatively weak fliers. Don’t put your garden in a windy, exposed position. If your whole yard is windy, plant some shrubs or large, dense perennials on the windward side of your butterfly patch, so that the butterflies can feed in peace on the flowers in their lee.
 * Beautiful flowers means more butterflies.
 * Monarchs are very fascinating butterflies. Their migration pattern is one of nature's great stories. Indeed, you can participate in the migration by helping to track the Monarchs that arrive in your part of the world. Report your own observations to this map.
