ellen This weekend I spotted two friendly floating insects in the yard. I think they were both Eastern Tiger. Butterflies have good taste in beautiful plants, include any of the following, and surely you’ll spot a few in your garden this summer.
Adults enjoy the nectar of:
- chives
- verbena
- marigold
- aster
- coneflower
- butterfly bush
- sage
- clover
- oregano
- zinnia
- cosmos
- goldenrod
- milkweed
- globe amaranth
- lily
- mint
- lavender
- black-eyed-susan
