This Zoom presentation is intended for inexperienced as well as seasoned gardeners, landscape designers, garden center employees, and anyone interested in native grasses that grow well in cold climates. Diane will discuss the benefits of native grasses, including their importance as host plants for native Lepidoptera. Combinations of specific grasses used by larvae and perennials that the adult butterflies feed on is new and timely information.
Add native grasses to your landscape and you provide host plants for butterfly larva. Pair those grasses with specific perennials and you feed the adult butterflies too.
