With 100+ days of summer blooms this Texas native plant will attract lots of butterflies, hummingbirds, and native bees. You don't need to mow it since it grows just 2' tall. It is an annual native, so it will die after fall frost. Allow it to cast seed, though, and next year it will come back even thicker. To establish, plant at a 2' spacing (20 plants for 80 SF). By the end of summer, they'll finish blooming (often by August 1) but in areas that stay moist they can continue for another 60 days of blooms (till October 1). Drip irrigation can also help while using very little water. After frost, trim back all the dead stems and shake off the seeds for next year.
