The Silver Spotted Skipper
Nectar Plant:
Joe Pye Weed is loved by many butterflies. It is a tall perennial, but new shorter hybrids can be found. It likes a moist soil, so plant it by your mudpuddle or by the downspout.
Host Plant:Wisteria is the host plant for the skipper, a very common butterfly. Be careful of placement of this vine as it can be extremely aggressive. There are reblooming wisterias now.
