Buddleja, which is also called the Butterfly Bush, is one of the best plants to attract butterflies. It blooms in late summer in the Fluttering Garden.

The Fluttering Garden

Imaginatively shaped flower beds attract butterflies in the courtyard of the University of Turku in summer 2011.

Colorful flowers that attract butterflies grow in the Fluttering garden. The art work has been inspired by Pehr Kalm, who worked in Turku in the 18th century. Flowers and butterflies are tiny color factories that need each other to survive. The flower species are chosen for their historical connection to Finnish botanists, and their attractiveness to butterflies.

The Fluttering garden is at its best in midsummer, when the flowers reach full bloom.
