There are few things as beautiful in this world as watching a butterfly fluttering gracefully from flower to flower.  Not only are they one of the more regal visitors to our gardens, butterflies also play an important role in pollination. 
As we know, without pollination, we won’t have any fruit or flowers. That is why it is so important that we encourage them to visit our gardens and where possible make it their home.  The best way to attract butterflies is to plant some nectar providing plants, host plants and fresh water.  Have a look at our top 10 plants for attracting  butterflies to gardens in South Africa.
