Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Summer Beauty' is our favorite pink blooming Butterfly Bush. Headlining large, conical and richly rosy, fragrant trusses that make gorgeous cut flowers, and a tidy, fast growing, yet compact stature of gently curving branches, this Buddleia makes an excellent small specimen. The handsome pewter-tinged leaves can be blended with the like-hued foliage of Salvia clevelandii 'Aromas' and Lavenders for a restful, silvery garden vista. Include Euphorbia 'Dean's Hybrid's acid-yellow blooms for a more exuberant summer display.
