Good to know, as many of those plants are attractive just to have. Now there’s an added bonus. I’ve been trying to attract butterflies. Also a fun hobby. Here’s a link that might help others.

Thank you for the information. I hadn’t thought about attracting butterflies with some of the same plants. I do some container gardening and just now have two plants going that are hummer favorites. I’ll keep an eye out for butterflies now, too.
