Can someone tell me what this plant is? I purchased in the spring but lost the tag. I believe that it is an annual. Could I winter it over under a grow light?

If it is an annual, it is 'designed' to only last a short time and then go to seed. It will not overwinter like a perennial or houseplant. Let the blossoms die off and you should see seed pods which you can harvest and save to plant next spring.

Its a Butterfly Plant (Not the bush) but I can't remember it's botanical name. I have them throughout my gardens from them going to seed & sprouting in different areas. I leave them in the ground through the winter.

Your plant is Guara or Wand Flower. Should be perennial in your area so you could consider putting in the ground. Likes a sunny well drained spot. I've never tried to winter it over indoors.

It's a Guara. Google to find out if it's hardy in your climate zone.

It is a Columbine, I'm pretty sure. I have several in different colors. Their seeds fly all over the place and they pop up anywhere too.

The botanical name is guar also know as wand flower. The tags say perennial, however I have had three of them and all three did not return.

This easy to grow perennial in zone 9 returns each Spring from small seeds dropped in Fall & from the roots when it sprouts as weather warms. I have the white, apple blossom pink & deep pink. They attract honey bees like crazy. They are drought resistant, too, & love full sun. They are one of my mainstays in a dry, full sun yard.
