This how-to guide will tell you how you can attract butterflies to your garden with the help of herbs.

For people who like butterflies it is good to know that certain things can be done to attract them. Having certain plants around is a good way to do just this.

1) You have your garden but it just doesn't seem right with nothing else there. You might be wondering where all the butterflies have gone of to.
They are around, it just depends on what you have planted in that garden of yours.
One way of getting them to come in is by planting herbs.

2) If you can get all of these herbs it would be a major attraction to the butterflies you want to inhabit your garden.
The herbs that I would recommend are:
Anise Hyssop
Campion
Comfrey
Hemp Agrimony
Mallow
Marjoram
Nettle
Loosestrife
Oregano
Sweet Rocket
and Thistle
Planting suggestions are to lightly rake the seeds into the soil.
It may be possible for you to buy the herbs already grown and plant these.


3) Other plants and herbs may work just as well so this is just ro be considered something to get you started.
You can then see what works really well by which ones are attracting them.

Things to consider:

Bothering the butterflies will scare them away.
