Nursery contributed plant descriptions

An exciting new variegated butterfly bush with green leaves edged in bright yellow. They set off the purple-red flower panicles nicely from summer well into fall. Butterfly bushes make a wonderful backdrop for perennials, and you'll love the butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds that flock to their honey-scented blossoms. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
The best variegated Buddleja we grow, it is not nearly as reversion prone as White Harliquin.
