These white 3 to 4 foot lovelies are by my mailbox in full sun and only get rain water. They return every spring from seeds that drop and from their perennial roots. In mid-summer when the 1st flowers go to seed, I cut them back to 12" for another flush until winter. They make my heart happy to see them whirling in the slightest breeze, which is why they are called Whirling Butterflies. No bugs or disease bother them here in south Louisiana, where they are honey bee magnets.
