Create an indoor butterfly garden

If you kept butterflies in your home it would work to plant some of the types of flowers they love in pots that could be brought indoors for them to feed on and could be rotated to provide an assortment to choose from, on a regular basis.

This is a list of ones I am aware of: daisy, ironweed, Dutchman's pipe, lupine, snapdragons, violets, coreopsis, globe thistle, asters, everlasting, mallow, purple coneflowers, trumpet creeper, stonecap, worm-wood, sedum, black-eyed susan, hollyhock, parsley, yarrow, verbena, butterfly weed, phlox and any herbs. Plants like milkweed and goldenrod, and marigolds are feed for caterpillars as well.

Some flowers adept more to be planted in pots than others, but it would help keep the butterflies healthier having natural food sources and provide pollination for your plants.
