My butterflies are so special to me. Last year, I had all of these planted except the Mexican sunflower. And it attracted many butterflies. I saw them around often, but not constantly. Since growing Mexican sunflower for the first time this year, I will NEVER not grow it again. They have turned my garden into a butterfly sanctuary. Every single time I walk outside no matter what time of day, I am greeted by so many swallowtails, I’ve recently been seeing a few monarchs, and buckeyes. The swallowtails have especially become my favorite. They are so SO beautiful. They actually brought me to tears once because there were so many floating around me, it made me feel like I was in a fairytale. Butterflies are magical little things, and I’ll never stop planting flowers for them 💜 #gardentok #butterflytok #swallowtails #monarchbutterfly #butterflygarden #pollinatorga #cottagecore
