Native Milkweed And Wildflowers

While they don’t star in CLEAN scents, native milkweed and wildflowers should be the first plants added to your butterfly garden. Certain species of butterflies rely wholly on milkweed to feed their caterpillars, while adult butterflies love the nectar of brightly-colored wildflowers. Use a tool like Pollinator Partnership’s planting guides to find out which varieties are native to your area. This will ensure you don’t inadvertently cause negative effects to the environment and ecosystem, and have the best chance of growing success.

Lemon Tree

Speaking of Swallowtails, the magnificent butterflies you see didn’t always have wings boasting a kaleidoscope of color. In fact, they begin life as Lemon Tree Caterpillars! Lemon Tree Caterpillars hatch from eggs laid on the leaves of lemon trees, which they later rely on for food. Encourage all stages of the butterfly life cycle by planting a lemon tree in your garden - you’ll also enjoy the fresh, citrusy scent of Lemon Oil found in CLEAN RESERVE Citron Fig.
