Wildlife Garden butterfly house - red

When autumn arrives, certain butterfly species look for a shelter where they can hibernate over the winter.

The butterfly house from Wildlife Garden can be filled with bark or similar material to create gaps where the butterflies can hide. They will not emerge again until the sun's rays return and the weather gets warmer.

The butterfly house is best placed near plants that attract butterflies. Examples include nettles, butterfly bushes and lavender. This gives the butterflies the best chance of finding the shelter where they can overwinter.
