Not only is this plant popular with pollinators, giant yellow spiders, sphinx moths, and monarch butterflies, but a couple of Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds feed at my plants every day. I have even watched a female stop her wings and perch on a leaf while feeding. This is the hottest spot currently in the garden for activity and diversity of life. I love this plant. The flowers have a gentle, pleasant scent. Since the plant is very smooth, it looks good near my succulents. It is more suited for a wildflower or prairie garden, as it can spread a bit, but not out of control. Popular as a food source for both caterpillar and butterfly stages of the monarch butterfly.
