I recently started a butterfly / Hummingbird garden. I planted varieties that I was told attract butterflies
& hummers but have not seen either. I had more butterflies last year when there were no flowers in the back yard. These are the plants I have... pineapple sage, pentas, porterweed, golden & red shrimp plants, cuban buttercup, cigar plant, crossandra, persian shield, moss rose & butterfly bushes (haven't bloomed yet). Am I missing anything important? Or am I being impatient? The bumble bees sure seem to be enjoying this garden!
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
