If that isn't a butterfly attractor! The 120-150 cm tall plant develops elegant blue flowers at the top, which closely resemble the shape of the Blue Butterfly (a small blue butterfly)! Complete with long stamens like antennae. The plant can be tied to a trellis to form a climbing plant; regular pruning rejuvenates the plant. The plants die back in winter, but the roots faithfully sprout in spring. Give them a spot in full sun; the leaves have a strange aromatic scent!
