This reminds me a bit of monarda; is it also a butterfly attracter?

I'm not sure Grammazoo, I just got it last year and I don't think it bloomed then. I would think so though.

bumblebees really like mine...don't see too many butterflies yet but the little blue sure stayed awhile between the centauria and the mint...noticed that you have lilies and mullien too ...your beds must be very much like mine...Mullien is one of my all time favourites...You should see the chickadees when it goes to seed...it's an air show!!

Yes Lori, love my lilies, and it's always a great surprise to see where the mullein is gonna pop up each year. I'll have to watch for the birds at it when it goes to seed. That must be fun to watch.
