Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Shrub will attract large numbers and varieties of butterflies. In mid-summer extremely long dense flower clusters appear in profusion. Excellent as a cut flower and has a mild, sweet fragrance. Flowers from new growth; should be pruned hard each spring to encourage form and flowers. Deadhead for continued bloom. A very new beautiful selection. Probably a hybrid with B. davidii per Cole Burrell. This is definitely one of our very favorites and as you can see, we have a few to choose from!
