I thought I would start a new thread on this topic. I recently tried a new combo of plants in a container for the butterflies, moths, and hummers. I do know the Monarch Butterflies have been using it. (Found some cats on the MW.)

In the pot are Milkweed (back), Red Salvia (center) and Red Petunia (front). I am also trying to grow some Red Nasturtiums in the pot, too. But I think I planted the seeds too deep. I'm gonna try again.

I like red and I think it is not only useful for the critters, but also rather pretty!

I would love to see more container photos of plants used for hummers and butterflies! Hanging baskets, too!
