Remarkable, vividly-rose-pink flowers, silvery foliage & a compact habit (to 3-5't x 3-4'w) made this JC Raulston Arb baby the top popular vote getter out of 100 cultivars at England's Kew Gardens... a WINNER! Sun/M
From a great new series of compact Buddleias and Miss Ruby is a gem of a plant noted for it's compact habit and remarkable, vivid, rich pink blooms. This color is unlike any other Butterfly Bush AND its over silver leaves on stems that are well-branched which means lots of stem tips for blooms -- it's loaded. Developed by Dr. Dennis Werner of the JC Raulston Arboretum in NC
