Butterflies of Southern Ontario

Below is a short list of some of the butterflies you may find visiting if you include their host and food plants in your garden. We at Flowers in the Front Yard know the right plants to provide hosts for the caterpillars and food plants for the adult butterflies, while still keeping in mind the overall design and attractiveness of the plantings. We can create a garden for you that will be a never ending source of fascination and beauty - alive with flowers and butterflies!
