I have 4 of the plants mentioned in my backyard. Every summer the butterflies put on quite a show. My grandchildren love to come to our house and watch them. It is really important for all of us to support nature and biodiversity…and we get beautiful flowers in return. A nice deal. As an arborist I need to mention that any homeowner should make sure nearby trees or limbs won’t provide too much shade for some of these plants. Selected pruning of a few limbs can make all the difference for many summers of successful blooms. Best, Bob Garfield Owner. http://www.ctshorelinetreeservice.com
