Vascular plants that are required by the larva of Butterflies (Papilionoidea)
Sandhill Milkweed is adapted to well-drained soils and can tolerate dry conditions, making it well-suited to the sandy environments found in these southeastern states.
The Aquatic Milkweed native range includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
The caterpillars of this butterfly species feed on various Citrus trees, including Lemon (Citrus limon), Lime (Citrus aurantifolia), Orange (Citrus sinensis), Grapefruit (Citrus × paradisi), and other related species.
A “larval host plant” refers to a plant species that serves as a food source for the larvae of certain insects or butterflies.
Growing Passiflora incarnata, or Maypop, in your yard or garden can offer several benefits from ornamental to medical.
It’s important to identify the species native to your region to support local biodiversity and provide the best habitat for monarch butterflies and other pollinators… one day at a time!
The Maypop Purple Passionvine is a delightful addition to gardens, providing both visual appeal and potential fruit harvest.
Passionvine is larval host plant to a few different butterflies.
