    Does anyone grow this plant? Is it one that seeds itself prolifically? Does it attract bees and butterflies? Any feedback would be much appreciated. :)

    @Tetters It will self-seed but not prolifically its a gold verbena like plant so like Verbena Bon will attract Bees and Butterflies so gets the thumbs up from me :dbgrtmb:

    Thanks for the link @BeeHappy . I have also ordered plants from Knoll gardens. The whole idea is to grow the Patrinia with Verbena bonariensis. The bees and flutters will be spoilt for choice :blue thumb:
