This is just a 'wee bit of a thing' as Butterfly Bushes go! From the Boskoop Experimental Station in The Netherlands, it's perfect for a rock garden or in a Perennial Bed. It's a rare genetic dwarf, with a tight ball of grayish foliage that reaches a mere 3' x 3'. But it's quantity of blooms matches the Big Boys. Oh so choice!
