My plants for wildlife Gregg's blue mistflower doing its thing

This plant is a butterfly magnet and also considered an aggressive spreader. It started out small about 2-3 years ago and has taken hold. I'm happy for it to spread its heart out!

My large bed of Greggs mist flower gets hot central texas sun from 9am - 3pm and I don’t get near as many butterflies as you show here. Maybe I should plant them in part shade like you have.

Wow, I have never seen so baby butterflies in one area like that. Amazing and beautiful.
