Eutrochium maculatum

Butterfly Magnet!

Short compact variety great for container gardening.

Performed very well in the heat and humidity here in NW Arkansas.

Minor problem with powdery mildew and lower leaves yellowing.

The blooms are mauve, not red.

The older stems have a reddish brown, almost black color.

Also called "Eupatorium maculatum"

Roselle
Hibiscus sabdariffa

(AKA Roselle and Herbal Tea Zinger Hibiscus)

Not cold hardy here in Zone 6B, but very easy to grow from seed for late Summer blooms. Attractive red stems and large red calyxes. Makes a really nice big patio container plant!

Ipomoea Species
Ipomoea alba

AKA Moonflower Vine. One of my favorite night-blooming vines. Huge white blooms! Very easy to grow in a large container with a bamboo teepee trellis to climb on. Lightly scented and attracts the huge nocturnal Hummingbird Moth.

This is a vine, not a bush, and sometimes confused with the no less beautiful and amazing Datura metel "Angel's Trumpet" bush".
