Our Butterfly Garden in May
Today we cleaned up our butterfly garden. Some of the plants have started to grow. Antennaria, also known as Pussy Toes, has started to grow. It grows 5 -15 cm tall and it blooms in May. Pussytoes are a food plant for the American Painted Lady butterfly caterpillars. Heartleaf Alexander is another spring plant that has started to grow. It has pretty yellow flowers, and it is the food plant for the caterpillars of the gorgeous Black Swallowtail butterflies. It grows 30 - 60 cm tall, and it will bloom in June.
