At most Garden shops, they have little tags with "butterfly attractor" on them or something like that. Butterflies like chicken flowers, I can tell you that though. Butterfly attracting plants are very beautiful, and plenty of butterflies flying around in your garden will make it look perfect! :)

Butterflies like different flowers at different seasons. Some plants are full of nectar that feed the adults and some plants called host plants are needed for the butterflies to lay their eggs on. Monarchs need milkweed for their eggs . Swallowtail love dill, fennel, carrot, and parsley and willow. Cabbage butterflies need plants from the cabbage family. Morning Cloaks need willow, cottonwood and elm. The painted lady needs thistle, sunflowers, and hollyhocks.

Butterfly weed, butterfly bush, yarrow, flocks, lantana, lilac, and asters all feed butterfly adults. Make sure you don't use any pesticides. Butterflies love sunlight and brightly colored flowers. You can also have a rock with some mud on it as a puddler for the butterflies because they get minerals by walking on muddy surfaces.

It depends on what type of caterpillar it is and what it's host plant is. Caterpillars usually eat the leaves of the plant and not the flowers. For example a monarch butterfly caterpillar eats milkweed leaves. The yellow eastern swallowtail butterfly caterpillars eat fennels, dill weed, and parsley plants.
