Butterflies
Welcome butterflies, the colourful pollinators of your garden
Watching a butterfly drift from flower to flower is a simple joy, yet these insects are becoming scarcer. By offering shelter, warmth and nectar, you turn your outdoor space into a living refuge and help protect local biodiversity.
How can I attract butterflies to my garden for good?
Butterflies look for nectar, warmth and shelter from the wind. Place a nectar feeder near flowering, melliferous plants, fix a butterfly house in full sun and avoid any chemical treatment that would drive them away.
What is a butterfly house for?
Its narrow vertical slots let butterflies in while keeping predators out. It gives them a place to rest, to shelter from bad weather and sometimes to overwinter safely away from the cold.
Our range to pamper butterflies
- Butterfly houses : wooden shelters with narrow slits, mounted in the sun to give butterflies a safe refuge.
- Nectar feeders : feeding stations filled with a sugar solution to sustain butterflies between blooms.
- Melliferous plants and accessories : supports and features that keep these colourful pollinators coming back.
The AnimalParadise expert tip: Face the butterfly house due south, about one metre off the ground and sheltered from prevailing winds: butterflies are cold-blooded and need warmth before they can take flight.
All our butterfly solutions are shipped quickly and carefully packaged across Europe, for a garden full of life from the first warm days of spring.
