Everyone loves butterflies and the best way to attract them is to plant what they love. Here in my garden it is Abelia. A semi deciduous (deciduous means it keeps its leaves in the fall) shrub that grows to around 7 feet tall. They are in the honeysuckle family so this means that the flowers are scented. This shrb loves the heat of the south. So give this shrub a spot in your butterfly garden.
I wish you could see all the butterflies...the kids and I counted them and there were over TWENTY!
