Description

This easy-to-grow collection features two annuals (Zinnia and Sunflower) and three perennials (Swamp Milkweed, Rue, and Showy Goldenrod) that offer up a source of food and habitat for giant swallowtail butterflies.

Perennial Rue blooms in late spring to early summer and acts a host plant for giant swallowtails. Swamp Milkweed offers up nectar-rich blooms in the spring, followed by Zinnia and Sunflower in the summer, and Showy Goldenrod offers a source of nectar all the way into the fall. This collection can be planted in the spring and fall, blooming in the first season and for years after, providing a long-lasting habitat for giant swallowtail butterflies.
