We just finished planting some new bushes to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. We can't wait to see if it'll work. Anyways, thought we'd share a list of some AZ friendly plants that will supposedly bring the critters to your yard:
1. Lantana
2. Parry's Penstamon
3. Chuparosa
4. Ruellia
5. Desert Milkweed
6. Turpentine Bush
7. Desert Willow
8. Cape Honeysuckle
9. Baha Ruby Fairyduster
10. Ocotillo
Anyone have any other hummingbird/butterfly plant suggestions?
