Midnight-purple trusses blaze in the sunny garden on this stunning, exceptionally fragrant Butterfly Bush! From summer to fall, it bears huge foot-long trusses so laden with blooms that they bend outwards from the shrubby 6 to 8-foot plant! Butterflies arrive in droves to sip its nectar, adding their own magnificent color to your garden. The aroma is heavenly -- no wonder it's called "Summer Lilac".
A snap to grow, Buddleia's only problem is knowing when to stop! Left unpruned, it will reach 6 to 8 feet tall. However, since it flowers on new wood, you'll want to cut it back to about 10 inches each spring before the new growth begins, and it will reach just 4 to 5 feet tall. What a performer!
