Butterfly Bush

Bloom Time: Summer
Zones: 5 – 9
Light: Sun

Butterfly Bush, as the name implies, is a favorite plant of butterflies, but it works equally well in attracting hummingbirds. With so many tubular flowers in one place, it’s the perfect buffet spot for a hummer!

Note: These bushes can be a little aggressive in some parts of the country, so you may want to check with your local nursery to make sure you want to plant them.

The beautiful flowers last most of the summer, especially if you remove them when they have finished blooming.
