Description: Perideridia kelloggii—Yampah. This member of the carrot family was an important food source for Native Americans. The gorgeous anise swallowtail butterfly will use most members of the Apiaceae family as host plants. The one most readily available in urban areas is the weedy plant, fennel, also called anise. Yampah is a good choice for native plant gardeners who wish to attract the swallowtails since it is attractive in flower and easy to maintain.
