The Butterfly Garden

Swallowtail in the Butterfly Garden

A huge Swallowtail was flitting about the Butterfly Garden while I was weeding this morning. The wingspan is larger than my hand!

It's easy to attract Swallowtails if you plant Coneflowers and Bee Balm (Monarda) but if you really want to fill your garden with Swallowtails... plant some Parsley.

* Parsley is the favorite host plant for Swallowtail caterpillars.
