Peacock - arguably the most beautiful butterfly in the world

Welcome to the website of UK Butterfly Plants Ltd - a company set up by me (Tony Smith) to help preserve our endangered UK butterflies.

Some of our butterflies are already extinct or teetering on the brink of extinction. Many more need the help of the Butterfly Conservation group and others to survive.

Human activity (such as hedge removal, roadside verge maintenance and digging up wild meadows) has led to colonies of butterflies becoming separated from each other as these activities have disrupted flight corridors between them. In-breeding within these isolated colonies has led to weak gene pools so a single virus fatal to one butterfly might wipe out the entire colony.

Put butterfly-friendly plants in your garden. You will have the joy of seeing one of nature's finest creations at close hand and, if enough people in your area join forces with you, you may help to open up the flight corridors between nearby colonies of butterflies and strengthen their chances of survival.
