Plant NameCultivarTypeThumbnail
Spinach Tree
Cnidoscolus aconitifolius

This is commonly known as the "Spinach Tree" it can eventually grow as high as 12 feet with an almost equal spread. Cuttings are so easy to transplant. You literally take a cutting, allow the end to "heal" for 24 hours and then make a small hole in the ground, put the cutting in and allow nature to run it's course. In 2015 I had over 25 butterflies that were made up of nine different types including: Monarchs, Queens, Gulf Fritillaries, Variegated Fritillaries, Zebra Longwings, Eastern Tiger Swallowtails, Zebra Swallowtails, Giant Swallowtails, Spicebush Swallowtails and Black Swallowtails! How many plants in your garden can do that? None in mine besides this plant does. So if you really want butterflies in your garden you must have one of these plants. So lets trade some plants...

Plectranthus Species
Plectranthus neochilus

I have a lot of this fast growing and spreading absolutely gorgeous, especially when in bloom, ground cover. This is plant is so easy to grow you literally can tear it up and throw it on another place in your yard and it will root and start growing! I'm willing to trade for most plants that attract butterflies and/or hummingbirds. I am especially looking for all milkweed varieties that I don't already have which at this time is only A. curassavica.
