In response to message posted by jerrib:Ya know Jerri...
Where attracting butterflies was concerned, I was always torn between native gardening and stuff not native to Ohio, but wqould attract butteflies. so I went both ways...yikes! That sounds, um, intriguing. (smile)
Anyway...stuff like lantana did make it into the yard, but Ohio native speicies dominated.
I gotta tell ya, Common milkweed was probably the most popular plant wth the butterflies. An incredible variety were drawn to the nectar...and bergamots...they were popular too.
I miss the photo ops my garden afforded me...
