It\'s verbena bonariensis. They love it! It\'s a butterfly magnet. I planted a row at the back of my yard at my former house.

And Hummingbird moths adore them. I see a few butterflies around them here, but the butterfly moths apparently find them irresistable.

If you scatter the seed around it comes up every year and blooms for months.
