<< I would definitely plan my garden
around the Butterfly Bushes, which are an attractive bush anyway and bloom all
summer.>>
I would add Lantana - it is also very attractive bush and bloom from spring
to fall.
Aspecially the kind with orange and yellow. I have two of this bushes next
to two Butterfly Bushes and see that Lantana is much more preferable.
Yesterday during lunch time I saw 15 Pipevine Swallowtails, half dozen Fiery
Skippers, Long-tail Skipper and American Lady - all on two Lantana bushes
simultaneously.
However I am not good in gardening and do not know where it grow well.
I see that it is very drought resistant.
