I am starting a small butterfly garden for our hospice in-patient unit. When the larvae are eating the plants, it can't look awful or make a huge mess. A local butterfly expert recommended we cover the pergola just outside the door with aristolochia. I can just picture someone standing there with frass falling on their head and all about them;-)
This brings me to wanting to pair an edible passiflora with one they will ignore so that the plant/support never looks naked. Will the Frits & ZLWs lay on the wrong plant? If they do, will the larvae try to eat the wrong one and spit it out or will they eat it and get sick? Got ideas for any other parings? Ultimately I'm sure we'll be allowed to use a fair amount of space but the pilot will have to look attractive and go well.
Thanks,
Maggie
