Description

The Painted Lady Nectar Collection Nectar collection includes Hollyhocks, Liatris, Joe-Pye Weed, Ironweed and New England Aster to help attract, feed and provide breeding grounds for these gorgeous butterflies.

Native Ironweed blooms in mid to late summer and asks a host plant for painted ladies to lay their eggs. Hollyhock, a biennial, is a gorgeous blooming variety and also acts as a host plant for larvae. Native Joe-Pye Weed, Liatris, and New England Aster are nectar-rich food sources for painted ladies and bloom from summer into the fall. This long-lasting collection can be planted in the spring or the fall and starts blooming in the second season, providing a habitat for painted lady butterflies for years to come.
