Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Because they?re sterile, the soft-purple, orange-throated flower clusters on this symmetrical 3-7' shrub last longer... extending that sweet end-of-summer butterfly-bush season AND they won?t spread!; from Unv. of Ark. S/M
Tiny purple flowers with orange throats clustered at the tops of arching branches. Vigorous grower to seven feet but is easily controlled by pruning to keep a dense shape. Flowers are sterile. Growth Rate fast
IT'S STERILE! Finally for those worried about self-seeding Buddleias, Dr. John LIndstrom of the U. of Ark. has introduced the wonderful new 'Asian Moon'. Because it can't complete it's reproductive cycle and make seeds, it just determinedly puts all it's efforts into blooms over very long season. The blooms are light purple with orange throats. The light green foliage has silvery undersides.
