Terri, the butterflies, hummingbirds and pollinators love the Mexican Sunflower. It’s an annual that is easy to grown here.

Thanks Judy! The flowers are fading fast and there aren’t as many butterflies now. It’s funny how one day they will be all over the garden and two days later there are hardly any.

Thanks Nancy! I love them, too. I order a pack of seeds from Amazon every winter and plant them in the spring.
