Agree?

I prefer Buttonbush instead. America native...Easier to grow...showy blooms....REALLY attracts the leps. Besides, I can't keep butterfly bushes alive. There is a new dwarf variety called Sugar Shack. I have it.

Your favorite nectaring plants?

The local subdivision plants a lot of butterfly bush, it seems to grow well here, and must be inexpensive. I've never seen a butterfly on it.
I see butterflies on my apple tree blossoms, usually nymphalids. Other than that, it's the berry bushes.
The Oregon coast isn't exactly a collector's destination.

Button Bushes are heavy attractors. Youtube videos of them and personal observations of them show branches drooping under the weight of so many insects. Probably an East of the Rockies plant.
