Plantsmylove said: Though butterfly bush attracts butterflies, none of them can host on it. not a single species of butterfly in north america hosts on butterfly bush. Granted many attractive butterfly and moth species host on large trees so that doesn't help you much.

Also home depot has a history of applying pesticides to there prennials before they are sold

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
