Jatropha

Jatropha


This was the first plant I purchased. I just think it's so beautiful, also hummingbirds like it... and I like hummingbirds. It'll grow to be very large, but I'm planning to prune it quite regularly to get it more shrub-like.

Lantana


Absolutely beautiful! Attracts all sorts of pollinators I absolutely adore. Ever since the day I first planted it, bees have been buzzing nearby. Coincidentally, one of my friends also has these!

Lantana
Salvia

Salvia


NOT the hallucinogenic kind. Also attracts pollinators, and is native to my area. Weirdly enough, has the softest little buds... I'd make a blanket out of them.

Firecracker


AMAZING for hummingbirds! Mine isn't quite there yet, but will be perfect once it fully blooms.

Firecracker
Milkweed

Milkweed


A true classic. You cannot escape this plant. Monarchs will soon be invading every square inch of it. Also native!
