I love this plant! It is a profuse bloomer and does well in full shade even though it is listed as a sun/pt sun grower. Butterflies love it and I have even seen a hummingbird over there, but there are other things blooming in the same area so cannot say for sure that it was this plant it was coming for.
Edited to add that today I saw a hummingbird at this plant and I was close enough to see that he was indeed going from flower to flower, so this plant IS attractive to hummingbirds :~)
