Giant Zinnias planted in color groupings will attract butterflies to your garden. Plant several patches around your yard because butterflies like to dine at a smorgasboard. Of course you also need to provide the different host plants on which the butterfly will lay it's eggs. Each species requires a specific type of plant for the caterpillar to grow on. The Tiger Swallowtail prefers Tulip Poplar tree. The Monarch prefers milkweed and the Buckeye likes Plantain and Snapdragon. This video was taken August 4, 2011.
