Did you know there are more than 170 species of butterflies that live in or visit Southern California?  

You can easily attract many of them by learning about host and nectar plants and shelter that a particular species prefer. Learn to maintain an ecological partnership with flowering plants, and eliminate the use of harmful pest control methods, unnecessary fertilizers and additives. UC Master Gardeners of Orange County will teach you about the types of butterflies, what they like, and provide examples of native and other nectar flowers that attract them.
