Description
Whirling Butterflies Wandflower adds a graceful, whimsical charm to Massachusetts gardens with its bright white flowers and contrasting red sepals. These blooms sit atop long, dark stems that sway in the breeze, giving the plant its common name. The result is a soft, airy display that moves with the wind, bringing your perennial border or wildflower garden to life with dynamic motion and color.
More compact and free-flowering than typical varieties, this Wandflower won’t self-seed, making it easy to manage in your landscape. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and once established, it tolerates both heat and drought—perfect for New England summers. Whirling Butterflies Wandflower is a standout addition to mixed borders, offering season-long blooms and light, ethereal texture.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 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.
