🦋 Host plants ≠ nectar plants.
Adult butterflies sip nectar from many flowers. But caterpillars are picky eaters — most can only
survive on one plant family. A garden full of nectar flowers and zero host plants is a restaurant
with no nursery: butterflies visit, but none are born there. Plant the hosts, get the babies.
🦋 Nothing matches that. Try a broader term.
Every host plant listed here is native to Florida. Host links open the plant's full profile.
