Butterfly Bush
BUZZ™ Ivory Butterfly Bush
This upright, semi-bushy shrub only grows to a size of three to five feet, but it produces elegant spikes of white plumes to accent its medium green-greyish foliage. It thrives with full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Hummingbirds and butterflies love the fragrant flowers that arrive in early summer and last until the fall. It is a specimen, great in large containers and small gardens. Withered branches should be removed in the spring before the new shoots start appearing.
