ROSES HERE AT A WAY TO GARDEN are notably scarce, but there is one kind I actually have in multiple—and think that you should, too.
Here I am offering Seeds from Collinsia heterophylla, also known as Chinese Houses. This beautiful plant grows about 2 feet high and blooms in the middle of the summer. It likes to live in the full sun and the butterflies like it to be in the full sun as well so that they can warm up while they are gathering nectar or laying their eggs.
