🌼Fragrant Flowers that Attract Hummingbirds and Butterflies 🌼
Episode 709
Ken and Lisa Lain here, your Top 10 Gardeners, with tips for creating a buzzing, vibrant garden.
Are you looking to fill your garden with fragrant flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies? Butterflies and hummingbirds are drawn to specific plants, and with the right choices, your garden will be their favorite spot.
Consider planting Butterfly Bushes (Buddleia) – they come in a variety of colors and sizes. From the compact Pugster series to the taller Buzz Hot Rhapsody, there's a perfect fit for every garden. These bushes bloom all summer long, offering continuous color and fragrance. Regular deadheading will keep them looking their best and encourage more blooms.
Lavender and Bee Balm are also excellent choices. They provide nectar for hummingbirds and butterflies while adding a lovely fragrance to your garden. Plant these in sunny spots for the best results.
To attract even more pollinators, create a diverse planting scheme. Include flowers with different bloom times, colors, and shapes. This provides a constant food source and makes your garden visually appealing.
