Several small plots of various species of annuals and perennial flowers all attract many different butterflies almost anywhere in Kansas. Certainly, you will be able to attract more species in the eastern third of the state than in the extreme west but butterflies occur statewide. A planned and cultivated butterfly garden of many of the varieties list will attract dozens of species of butterflies. By incorporating many of these suggested species, along with some wild prairie plantings of forbs and grasses and a pool or other source of water, you will be amazed at the variety of these insects that will come visiting.
