The Fritillary






















Host Plant:


Wild violet are only inches tall and bloom in spring.





















Nectar Plant:

Fritillary butterflies love coneflowers. So do finches. There are new colors available now. Orange, red, yellow, white, even green...

Coneflowers are native prairie flowers that love dry, well drained soil. They are very drought tolerant. They grow to aprox. 3 feet tall and will rebloom all season long if deadheaded.
