Swallowtails were early at The Garden Guy’s house this year. Thank goodness I had Superbena verbenas in full bloom. It is as if they had been given the task of announcing the arrival of spring and the butterfly season. March 22, I photographed an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail on Superbana Royale Chambray verbena.
Hopefully your first thought might be, “If it was in full bloom March 22, when did you plant it?” And the answer would be in October. That is also when I planted Superbena Royale Plum Wine which offers one of the rarest orchid colors in the garden.
Now before you start thinking it is late April and you have missed the verbena boat, know that my Superbena Imperial Blue was planted in April of 2021, and it is in full bloom. My Superbena Stormburst and Superbena Whiteout are three years old.
