Hello everyone,

I am trying to find a fast growing host plant for Giant Swallowtails. I have several small citrus plants, but they tend to grow slowly, and get decimated after the first round of cats. They are also susceptible to leaf miners. I have also tried to start various citrus plants from seed, but the seedlings seem to languish when put outdoors. I am currently trying to germinate some rue--has anyone had experience with this? If so, how fast does it grow?

Has anyone tried wild lime--Butterfly World sells the seeds for this one.

Thanks!
Mark
