Butterfly Identification 7

The Red Admiral Butterfly



















Nectar Plant:

Anise Hyssop is a wonderful tall perennial with blue spiked flowers. Growing to 3 feet, this plant rarely needs to be deadheaded. The leaves are fragrant.















Host Plant:

OK beer lovers, this is a hops vine and the host plant for the red admiral. Hops has wonderful fall color. It can take some shade, but will not bloom well unless grown in full sun.
