Description
True Blue Butterfly Bush is a striking addition to Massachusetts gardens, producing cobalt-blue flower spikes from mid-summer to fall. This compact, multi-stemmed shrub attracts butterflies with its fragrant blooms, which contrast beautifully against its gray-green foliage. For best results, cut it back each spring to encourage vigorous regrowth and vibrant summer flowers.
Ideal for borders or mixed plantings, True Blue Butterfly Bush thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. Its narrow, deciduous leaves remain attractive throughout the season, blending seamlessly into the landscape. This hardy perennial is perfect for adding late-season color when other plants have faded.
Each plant comes in a #3 (3 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
*This plant may not be in bloom at the time of purchase. Whether pre- or post-bloom, rest assured it’s healthy—just not at its showiest.
