A perennial. Once considered a weed, but now it's the butterfly plant. I think that's more fitting. It's not invasive and these brilliant pink/orange flowers are amazing.

Grown that from seed. I read that in the midwest they are planting millions of them to help the Butterflys and bee's recover from farmers use of BT. and other pesticides.

That's good to hear Stan. They need our help. I grew mine from seed too, but only have space for a few plants.
