Tiger Swallowtail Gathers Nectar from Lantana in the Container Garden

The colorful lantana, grown in a container on the patio, attracts a variety of butterflies, including this Tiger Swallowtail, as well as bees and ruby-throated hummingbirds. Each season, the lantana can be pruned back before first frost, brought inside and overwintered for future use on the patio garden - some plants are on their fourth season. They typically rebloom at the end of June-first week of July.
