Blue Butterfly Bush

Attracts Droves of Butterflies

  (12 customer reviews)



Blossoms when most shrubs have finished flowering for the season—late summer—for a welcome flush of color. Arching sprays of foliage frame clusters of sweetly fragrant flowers that resemble lilacs. Perfume attracts droves of butterflies— that’s exactly how this beauty got its name! At 6-10 ft., it makes a supremely colorful lot line screen. Prefers full to partial sun. Potted plants. Zones 5-9.
This plant attracts Hummingbirds and butterflies.
Not available in OR.

This item ships only in the spring.
If our spring shipping season is closed, your order will be shipped the following spring.

FRAGRANT !
Reviewed By: Gale (Huntington, IN)
With the slightest breeze the scent is unbelievable! If you like the smell of LILAC but hate that its bloom time doesn't last long enough, then this is the plant you want. I can not believe how fast it grows and the amazing smell! I want to plant one under every window around my house. Open the window and get instant air freshener! Butterflies love this plant and Hummingbirds too ! I never saw so many Butterflies in my garden before I planted this. Get one and you will wish you had a dozen.

Unbelievable scent. If you like Lilac but wish it would bloom longer through the season then this is the plant for you. Attracts vast variety of both hummingbirds and butterflies.

Odd!

Odd, 2 reviews 4 days apart both written by Gale in Indiana. I looked up a lot of the names on the positive reviews in the white pages and could find noone with those last names in those cities or nearby. I guess all the reviewers must have unlisted numbers. Just seems odd.
