General Information:
Bred by Elizabeth Keep of East Malling, England, these Butterfly bushes have been bred to be full, loaded with flowers and top out at 4-5'. Suitable for containers, these shrubs are fragrant and colorful.
Plant Care:
Cut back heavily in spring (especially in the north) for best flowering. Containers will, of course, need winter protection in the colder zones.
