Butterfly Attracting Annuals & Flowers

Butterfly attracting flowers do double duty in the garden. They look beautiful and keep these beloved pollinators coming back all season long. Butterflies rely on nectar-rich blooms for energy. So the more flowers you have in succession, the more butterfly activity you'll see. Because annuals give you a fresh canvas each year, you can fine-tune your butterfly garden every season. Try new colors and bloom times to keep things interesting.

At Garden Crossings, our selection of butterfly attracting flowers covers the full growing season from spring through frost. You'll find compact varieties for containers, sprawling bloomers for garden beds, and everything in between. All of our annuals earn their place through strong butterfly appeal. Plant a mix of varieties and enjoy a garden that stays alive with color and winged visitors.
