Attracting butterflies to your Colorado Springs garden is a very rewarding process. It takes a bit of patience at first, but once the butterflies find your new plantings, they will become regulars to your yard.
The most important factor in attracting butterflies is to NOT spray herbicides or insecticides. You will not have any success attracting these beautiful winged creatures.
