If I had only heard that the chinensis was good in American I might not have bothered but it was the picture on the Sussex Butterfly Conservation website which caught my interest.

I think it is okay to post a link to the page? Butterfly Conservation - Sussex Branch - PAGE TITLE
Looks promising! A quick browse on the web + found an American Tiger Swallowtail on it, though that won't be any help to us; perhaps anyone with a garden in the Broads may get a Swallowtail on it!
