Parsley As A Host Plant

There is only one reason why I plant parsley in my gardens and it's not to eat or to be used as a garnish.

I plant parsley, as a host plant, to attract the Black Swallowtail caterpillars.

I bought a 4-pack of parsley this spring and planted them in different locations in my gardens.  I check them over every couple of days and yesterday I noticed this beauty hidden nicely and chomping away!



Seems to work every year!
