Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Spikes of deep violet, nectar rich, fragrant flowers are borne all summer on this vigorous yet compact Butterfly Bush. Miss Violet is another excellent introduction from the breeding work of Dr. Dennis Werner at North Carolina State University. Butterfly Bushes are easily grown, free flowering butterfly magnets and are moderately drought tolerant once well established. Deadheading is not required but removing spent flowers will help the plant look 'cleaner'. Buddleias can grow to become large shrub-like perennials in mild climates but most grow as herbaceous perennials in zone 6 and colder. In some states and counties Buddleia's are considered invasive, please check with your local state offices before purchasing.
