Sweet Almond Verbena (Aloysia virgata)

I saw this blooming and full of butterflies at Brookside Botanical Garden's butterfly exhibit. I just purchased one from Logee's Greenhouse. I can't wait to get it potted up and out for the butterflies and hummers.

I'm posting a website so that you can track it down and see pictures. Very fragrant.

I was out this morning and some scent caught my nose. This tiny shrub is putting off the most beautiful scent. I can't wait to see what butterflies it attracts.
