Here's a video about butterfly gardens and a few suggestions around perennial flowers that work for these interesting insects.

Do not forget the most important and often forgotten bit of advice and that is that you have to feed both the larva as well as the mature insect if you want to succeed. So some caterpillar is going to have lunch in your garden making huge holes in your plants and then turn into a lovely creature. You can't have one without the other.
