I want to plant a butterfly garden, but I don't know what flowers butterflies like, and I don't want perennials because I will have to plant them every year. What are some annual flowers that attract butterflies?

If you would like to attract butterflies to your garden, try growing a wildflower patch. Perhaps you can buy a packet of wildflower seeds that will grow into a painter’s palette of colors to draw these delicate creatures to you. If you live in the appropriate region of the world, the buddleia bush will bring in butterflies like a magnet. Then get a camera and binoculars, and have fun!
If the Creator hadn’t arranged for the pollination of plants by making them attractive, millions of plants would not reproduce. Commenting on the result of that remarkable activity, Jesus said: “Take a lesson from the lilies of the field, how they are growing; they do not toil, nor do they spin; but I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.”—Matthew 6:25, 28, 29.
About 10,000 to 20,000 different species of butterflies adorn the surface of this planet.

I missed the part about annuals. Sorry.
