Oleanders have a butterfly that only breeds on them. Although they are
poison to eat the shrub, as a child growing up I was fascinated with the
butterflies and watching their life cycle.

Should be available at most nurseries.

Hope this helps,

But try not to plant it in your backyard, because it makes the place bloody
difficult to sell to anyone with small kids. Whilst that isn't a real
problem at the moment, should the real estate market become less buoyant it
could be a problem. Frontyard should be OK though.

I found that grapevines were always good for attracting those black and
white caterpillars. Not sure which butterfly they are the larva of.
