Grows 5 - 15' ht. x 4 - 10' sp.
A more winter-hardy deciduous shrub with creamy and slightly fragrant yellow flowers, this interesting Butterfly Bush is a departure from the regular pink through dark violet varieties. A long-blooming plant that flowers from late spring in the NC Piedmont through fall, it prefers average, well-drained soil in full sun. Try to avoid wet areas and shade, since it can become leggy. Deadhead flowers to encourage additional blooms. It will attract butterflies but like other butterfly bushes, it is not a host plant for caterpillars.

Fuchsia pink blooms 2-2.5 ht & sp
This low, compact growing Butterfly Bush offers fuchsia-pink color flowers from early summer to the first hard frost. Prefers full sun and is drought-tolerant once established. Perfect for smaller gardens and borders. Slightly fragrant. Attracts butterflies. Tutti Frutti Butterfly Bush is a deciduous shrub.
Blue blooms 2' ht x 2'- 3' sp
This compact butterfly bush reaches just 2' tall but has the large, full flowers normally seen on a much larger plant. It blooms non-stop from early summer through frost with true-blue flowers, each with a tiny yellow-orange eye in the center. Thick, sturdy stems give the Pugster® series vastly improved hardiness and winter survival over other types of dwarf butterfly bush.
