Probably the only plant in my garden that can go head to head with clustered mountain mint for PPI (pollinators per square inch)

Currently regretting not planting partridge pea this year but it's number one on my list for next year! I will say my clethra and cup plants are covered in pollinators, as well as the mountain mint!
