My yard is small and much of it is paved, so I have limited garden space. I had been wanting to plant passionvine, but heard that it could spread far, and unpredictably. Where would I make space for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, last June, our laurel oak fell over. Onto both of our cars. When we had it removed, I paid extra to have the stump ground. For months, Amy and I pondered and debated over how to replace this shade tree. I let things grow, and we soon had a hedge of native shrubs around the stump area. It consisted of several fanpetals and beautyberry bushes, plenty of&nbsp;<em>Bidens alba<\/em>, some dog fennel, and a single pokeweed. I turned this into a pollinator space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wfsu.org\/blog-coastal-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_9648-small.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wfsu.org\/blog-coastal-health\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_9648-small-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Gulf fritillary caterpillar grazing on passionvine.\" class=\"wp-image-13913\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Gulf fritillary caterpillar grazing on passionflower, seen here on a beautyberry bush, at the Cherokee Lake Pollinator Garden in Thomasville, Georgia.

I had also seen this plant pairing on the Miccosukee Greenway and on the Overstreet Trail at Maclay Gardens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of the beautyberry bushes grew nice and large, I thought about something I\u2019d noticed in parks around town; passionvine loves to grow on beautyberry. The shrub makes a good trellis for Muscadine grapes, too. Here, finally, was my chance to plant passionvine, and see some new caterpillars in the yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I planted vines on opposite sides of the large beautyberry. The vines grabbed it, and after a few months, met each other at its top. Then the fun began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-green-cyan-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.wfsu.org\/blog-coastal-health\/2022\/08\/want-to-see-the-gulf-fritillary-life-cycle-plant-passionflower\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to read what happened next in Rob&#8217;s post on the WFSU Ecology Blog.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took the death of an oak for me to start raising gulf fritillaries.
