Flowers that especially attract butterflies are red, yellow, pink, purple or orange that are clustered or flat-topped with a short flower tube and a fragrance is preferred. This description fits with a carnation, and butterflies are essential to the pollination of carnations.
It's not really what butterflies like carnations, but what butterflies do you have in your area, as they will like carnations. Luckily there are no butterflies that use the carnation as their host plant for caterpillars, so you get the beauty of the butterfly on a plant free from the vegetation eaters.
