I'm new to this site and am from Kingsport, TN. A plant I really love to grow is the tropical milkweed { Asclepius curavassica} It makes a huge bush of colorful blooms and butterflies love it. It's not winter hardy so I pot up a few and move indoors for the winter. Another plus is that Monarch butterflies lay eggs on it in the fall and it supports a bunch of caterpillars. Grows great from cuttings too and makes a ton of seed. For some strange reason the seed is very expensive. If anyone wants to grow it, I've got a ton of seed I've collected.
