Wow! I'm surprised nobody here mentioned 'Tithonia Torch' Mexican sunflowers!!!

We've got 7 Butterfly Bushes...4 'Plum, 1 'Petite White Snow', 1 'Royal Red, and one 'Black Knight'. The Butterflies love them, but our Hummers couldn't be bothered.

If I was allowed to only have one plant...it would be the 'Tithonia Torch'!!! Not only did both the Hummers and BF's love them, but the hummers also loved to perch on the spent flower stems...perfect for their little tootsies, and the Goldfinches loved them for their seeds too...so there was triple action in them...awesome!
AND, no, the Goldfinches didn't scare the hummers away. I have a vid where they were side by side and "doing their own thing :)

I'll post a few pics...here's the 1st one of an immature male RT on a spent bloom stalk...
