I want to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. I guess that's pretty obvious considering I'm posting here. ;) If you could offer any suggestions for my climate zone 9 - hot and humid. I'd really appreciate it. (And I do plan on adding hamelia patens.) Any suggestions would be SO greatly appreciated.

Anyway, my garden will have a definite Texas/cottage garden/tropical all-in-one look!
The bones of the garden:
White crepe myrtle
Chaste (vitex) tree - purple blooms
Ebbing's silverberry elaeagnus - already pruned to a small "weeping" tree
Two Sweet/tea olives (just three feet high)
Agapanthus - blue-ish purple
Bi-color African irises
Some "Green Ice" mini roses - white
3 small gardenia bushes
2 "airy" shrub plants with burgandy leaves and tiny pink flowers (can't remember the name!)
Nice boulder rocks
A chiminea that looks a hundred years old - a little tex-mex in the garden haha
I'm planning on adding:
Apricot Sprite Agastache
Red Hot Poker Flamenco
Red Salvia
Goldfinger Mexican Sunflower
Arizona Sun Blanket flower
Thanks so much! I love photography, so I hope I have lots of photos to add later. I did grow milkweed last year, and had a blast watching the cats grow!
