A pollinator MAGNET! In the same genus as the Geigers, this native shrub has a much more coarse appearance than its showier relatives, but it is a must for subtropical butterfly gardeners. Locate it behind showier herbaceous butterfly attractors if its coarseness does not appeal to you.

Very easy to grow from seed.
