Not only is flowering ivy beautiful, whimsical, and perfect for anyone who loves cottage core vibes, but it also provides a nectar source for butterflies.
They are also attracted to it because it’s another host for their eggs and raises certain kinds of butterfly species like red admiral and holly blue.
You don’t necessarily have to let your entire yard get covered in ivy and super long grass to the point where you can hardly walk around. Creating a designated section for these plants to thrive and attract butterflies should do the trick.
Additionally, if you don’t have a yard, you can experiment with keeping pots of long grass and flowers on your balcony or window box.
Following these simple gardening tips can help your space become much more welcoming to butterflies and encourage your chances of seeing the gorgeous, fluttery creatures on your property.
