My zinnias have been my most successful addition. I have more species of butterflies than I can count on the zinnias, the hummingbirds love them and now I plant them from seeds every spring. I save the seeds from my favorite color flowers and the healthiest of the flower bed to plant the following year.
Biggest disappointment has been impatiens. They grow well here and when I lived in northern PA they attracted hummingbirds like mad! But down here in southern PA, the butterflies and hummingbirds pass them by and head straight for the zinnias.
