You don’t really need a specific kind of flower to attract butterflies. If there are flowers in your garden that appeal to them, butterflies will find them.

I agree with hardinero 007.

Bright colors seem to attract more butterflies, but more importantly, large swaths of color will make it easier for them to find your garden. Use insecticides sparingly if you hope to attract butterflies.

However, one particular plant that is a close and very dear companion to roses is lavender and lavender is one of the many great butterfly attractors.
