Chosen Plant: More Info

Although this is a tad late...

The plant me and Rebecca chose to get was a Butterfly Bush, otherwise known as Milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) it grows best in full sunlight and well drained soil. It grows up to 3 feet 6 inches making it a native shrub. It is drought tolerant and flowers bright orange attracting Monarch butterflies.
