Butterfly feeding shrubs
Butterflies feed on the nectar in flowering shrubs, they also carry pollen from flower to flower helping to fertilise them. Choose a few shrubs that flower at different times to keep the butterflies coming. Buddleja are the most well know of the butterfly bushes, and many will happily self-seed around the garden.
