White Twine Vine (Funastrum clausum)
ONLY SHIPPING TO FLORIDA
(Contains 4 Rooted Cuttings)
White twine vine is a late summer to early fall bloomer. The white blooms are a top nectar source for butterflies and other pollinators. it loves to live in full sun and moist conditions. This host plant attracts queen and solider butterflies more than monarchs.
This is a great plant to add to your garden if you are constantly running out of milkweed. It’s native and evergreen supplying you host material year round. Not only do caterpillars eat the leaves but they love the new growth of the vine itself.
Many people say that their caterpillars won’t transfer over. However that has never been the case for me. You have to let the caterpillar become familiar with the plant first. Since you transferred it from a milkweed to a milkvine.
If given the choice caterpillars will of course prefer your milkweeds. I hope this helps you on your butterfly journey!!
