Oh My ---- A picture and a blog I just read spurred this flurry of information.  I love butterflies and do grow Fennel which will serve for egg laying, feeding the caterpiller, holding the Chryalis and necter for the adult. Enjoy your butterfly experiences. Linda B

This is will tell you which plant go with the different butterflies:  

  Milkweed -  Monarch Butterfly; 

 Spicebush -  Spicebush Swallowtail;              Paw-Paw - Tiger Swallowtail;

  Parsley, Dill, Fennel -   Black Swallowtail
