Description
Blueberry Pie Butterfly Bush is a dwarf deciduous shrub with tidy habit and willowy grey-green foliage. The pleasantly fragrant panicles of rich purple flowers with a white halo around its orange eye bloom through summer into early fall, attracting bees and butterflies. Remove spent flowers to extend bloom season. Best performance in sunny well-drained areas. Drought tolerant.
