Blue Butterfly Bush

Attracts Droves of Butterflies

(11 customer reviews)

Blossoms when most shrubs have finished flowering for the season—late summer—for a welcome flush of color. Arching sprays of foliage frame clusters of sweetly fragrant flowers that resemble lilacs. Perfume attracts droves of butterflies— that’s exactly how this beauty got its name! At 6-10 ft., it makes a supremely colorful lot line screen. Prefers full to partial sun. Potted plants. Zones 5-9.

Wow
Reviewed By: Jon M (Wells, ME)
Simply wow. This plant went from a small 10" skinny starter that we received to a thriving 3' tall bush in the same summer that we planted it. It is doing great, would not have believed it if I didn't see it.

A Must Have!!!
Reviewed By: Heather (Jacksonville, NC)
I purchased this bush to add color to my front landscaping. When I received it, it seemed a little on the small side. Now, just a few months later, it has almost doubled in size!!! Well worth your money!!!

Come on Butterflys
Reviewed By: Randy (Racine , Wis)
I've been wanting to attract Hummingbirds and Butterflys for years and finally got the courage to jump in and I got 4 of them. I received them early April and repoted them asap. I planted them outside 2 weeks ago and they're growing so fast! I've been a customer of Gurneys for 15 yrs. and have rarely been disappointed with their products.
