| Sugar Apple Annona Squamosa | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Aristolochia Species Aristolochia fimbriata The Pipevine Swallowtail and Polydamas Swallowtail butterflies use this plant as a larval host. | Seeds, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (TexasPuddyPrint) |
|
| Aristolochia Species aristolochia Littoralis This is known to be a larval host plant for the Polydamas Swallowtail (Battus polydamas). * Pipevine Swallowtail caterpillars (Battus philenor) will not survive using this vine. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Aristolochia Species Aristolochia Trilobata Larval host to the Polydamas Swallowtail and Pipevine Swallowtail | Seeds, Cuttings |  (TexasPuddyPrint) |
|
| Ruellia Species Blechum pyramidatum Attractive to butterflies. This is the larval host for the Malachite butterfly (Siproeta stelenes). Grows quickly from cuttings and will set down roots when the stem nodes lay on the ground. Grows extremely well in south Texas - grows from 12 to 18 inches tall and is a good filler plant. Puts out tiny lilac colored flowers from bract tips. Am tempted to say this plant is invasive because it grows too well in my yard!!! | Plants, Cuttings | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Canna Species Canna Larval host plant for the Brazilian Skipper butterfly. Have several colors: Orange (this one grows about 6-7 feet tall), Peach, Red with purplish leaves, Yellow and Yellow with red sprinkles | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Chromolaena Species Chromolaena Odorata It is abundant in all our butterfly parks as it is a fantastic butterfly and pollinator magnet! Common name in south Texas is Crucita and it has light purple bluish flowers | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Cirsium Species Cirsium texanum This grows wild from fallen seeds. It has beautiful blooms but it is a very prickly plant. Harvesting seeds is a chore. This serves as the larval host plant for the Painted Lady butterfly. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Clematis Species Clematis drummondii We call this Old Man's Beard and Barba de Chivato (Goat's Beard) as the seed pods look like they have feathery tendrils. Will say this is very drought resistant and invasive - well, out in south Texas anyway. It grows along the barbed wire fencing and pretty much can cover large areas of the fence. When it blooms it attracts all kinds of butterflies and bees. I love to drive around the back roads of the ranch and stop to look over each clump of this and admire all the butterflies on them. It also serves as the larval host for the Fatal Metalmark butterfly. I've seen gobs of them on these vines but have not been able to find any eggs or caterpillars...but considering the size and density of these vines it's like looking for a needle in a haystack! :o) | Seeds, Plants | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Bluewood Condalia Condalia Hookeri Native to south Texas. Fruit is small but edible. Some folks out here made jelly out of the fruit. Called Brasil in south Texas. | Seeds |  (TexasPuddyPrint) |
|
| Conoclinium Species Conoclinium greggii We call this Gregg's Mistflower - or Eupatorium greggii - I think it's the same one I am linking to. The photo for this entry is my own. Queen butterflies flock to this by the hundreds in south Texas. It is also very attractive to many other butterfly species. Grows well in most soils and prefers full sun. Will grow in the shade but will not bloom profusely without a good dose of sunshine. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Cordia Species Cordia boissieri This is a native to south Texas and very drought resistant and is somewhat salt resistant. It serves as a good nectar host for butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. These grow wild at our ranch so if you are looking to trade for a tree you'll have to give me time to find one small enough for shipping. | Plants |  (TexasPuddyPrint) |
|
| Cylindropuntia Species Cylindropuntia leptocaulis Extremely rare yellow fruit bearing Also have regular red bearing fruit | Seeds, Cuttings | (PlantFiles) |

| Mexican Ash Fraxinus berlandieriana I have saplings of this tree. At least I think it is the Mexican Ash - out here it is called Rio Grande Ash. It has served as a larval host for the Forbes Silkmoth (Forbesi Lebeau Rothschildia). | Seeds, Plants | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Guyacan Guaiacum angustifolium This is a native of south Texas and very drought resistant. It also serves as the larval host for the Lyside butterfly. This tree has a very deep tap root so if you are wanting to trade trees you\'ll have to give me time to dig it up from the ranch. | Seeds |  (TexasPuddyPrint) |
|
| Hamelia Species Hamelia patens Grows well from cuttings. Very attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. Can be pruned down to form a dense hedge. I have hedges of this growing on both sides of my driveway. I took this photograph when it was about 6 feet tall. It has since grown to about 8 feet tall. I prune it back after winter to about 18 inches and by early Spring it is already a good three feet tall. Grows and fills in quickly. This plant is also the larval host for the Pluto Sphinx moth (Xylophanes pluto). | Cuttings | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Helianthus Helianthus annuus Am thinking this is the correct species that I have. The blooms are dinner plate in size and the plants are about six feet tall. Larval host for the Bordered Patch butterfly | 'Mammoth Grey Stripe' | Seeds |  (TexasPuddyPrint) |
| Ipomoea Species ipomoea ochracea This is a prolific bloomer. There's something to be said for this rare beauty - lots of folks are amazed to find out there is a yellow morning glory! I harvest seeds around January of each year and on up to about July. Seeds are always fresh and I’ve been growing this for over 20 years. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Leucophyllum Species Leucophyllum frutescens This grows wild at the ranch. Looks great when it is in full bloom. Lovely purple flowers!!! Many businesses and home owners use it in their landscaping. They can be trimmed/hedged to nice uniformed shapes. This shrub serves as the larval host (caterpillar food) plant of the Theona Checkerspot. I\'ve raised and released those butterflies on it. Also have some that bloom white and they have pale green to grayish leaves. Can take fresh cuttings from those too. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Malpighia Species Malpighia glabra This is a south Texas native plant and very drought resistant. This plant serves as a larval host (caterpillar food) plant for several butterflies: White-patched Skipper, Brown-banded Skipper, Funereal Duskywing, Cassius Blue, Marius Hairstreak and Strophius Hairstreak. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Malvastrum Species Malvastrum coromandelianum This pops up in the yard from fallen seeds. In deep south Texas (Hidalgo, Starr and Cameron County) is serves as the larval host plant for the Tropical Checkered-Skipper. I have raised and released those skippers on it. Have also read the Red-Crescent Scrub Hairstreak uses it but have yet to find any of that butterfly's caterpillars on it. Then again, considering how well this grows down here there are just too many plants to check over. I will keep looking and do hope to raise and release some Red-Crescent Scrub Hairstreaks on it this year. | Seeds, Plants | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Passiflora Species Passiflora biflora This vine is doing a great job at taken over my dog run fence. Can trade cuttings. It is the larval host for several longwing butterflies: Gulf Fritillary Julia Longwing Mexican Silverspot Zebra Heliconia Possibly other heliconians too. | Cuttings | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Passiflora Species Passiflora Edulis Larval host for the Isabella’s Heliconian butterfly. I raised several dozen on this vine species. | Seeds, Plants | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Passiflora Species Passiflora morifolia Can try air-layering for future trades if you want to wait for a rooted cutting. | Seeds, Cuttings | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Passiflora Species Passiflora suberosa Grows easily from fallen seeds. Larval host for several butterflies. Gulf Fritillary, Zebra Heliconian. Julia Heliconian and perhaps other Longwings. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Ebenopsis Species Pithecellobium flexicaule This is a very slow growing tree - or maybe we tend to think that since it is a native to south Texas and we are always under drought conditions. Not sure if they'd grow faster with deep watering and fertilizer. The seeds germinate fairly quickly but the tree growly slowly. They put out lots of scented blooms and are very attractive to bees and butterflies. The tree branches form a dense canopy of foliage and serves as a good nesting site for birds. This tree is the larval host for several butterflies: White Angled-Sulphur, Large Orange Sulphur, Cassius Blue and Coyote Skipper. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Prosopis Species Prosopis glandulosa This grows wild at the ranch. Many folks grind up the dried bean pods and use the flour for baking. Everyone out here uses the dried wood for bar-b-que pits. Bees use the nectar from the flowers to make a wonderful tasting honey :o) The local wildlife use the bean pods and leaves as a food source...even the coyotes are known to eat the bean pods. Extremely drought resistant. Several local artisans use mesquite wood for crafts. It is a very hard wood and the coloring - a blend of creamy yellow and deep reddish brown is truly beautiful when used for decorations and furniture. If you are interested in trading for a tree you\'ll have to give me time to find one small enough for shipping that I can dig up - they do have long taproots! | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Rivina Species Rivina humilis This grows wild at the ranch in both full sun and shade. Very drought resistant and grows anywhere from about 10 to 18 inches tall. The leaves provide lots of green foliage and will turn a purplish color during the winter (not that we get much of a winter). This plant is supposed to be the larval host for the Goodson\'s Greenstreak but I\'ve never seen one of those butteflies at the ranch so can\'t say for sure if they use it. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Ruellia Ruellia Simplex Tall (2-4 feet) purple flowering Mexican Petunia Larval host for the Crimson Patch butterfly. | 'Mexican Carpet' | Seeds, Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |

|
| Solidago Species Solidago Excellent pollinator plant. Bees love it. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Waltheria Species Waltheria indica This grows wild back at the ranch and is a larval host for the Mallow Scrub Hairstreak butterfly. Lots of the smaller butterflies nectar from these plants. | Seeds | (PlantFiles) |

It is also the larval host for several butterflies: Giant Swallowtail, Ornythion Swallowtail, Thoas Swallowtail, Dingy Purplewing and Sickle-winged Skipper. It is also the larval host for the Forbesi Rothschildia Silkmoth. This has a very deep taproot so if you are looking for rooted trees you'll have to give me time to dig it up from the ranch. | Seeds |  (PlantFiles) |
