NEW FOR 2008!!! If you like butterfly bushes, this new one is for you!
With two colors on the same flower: creamsicle orange and bubble-gum lavender, its sure to knock your socks off and be the talk of your gardening neighbors!

Blooms from July to autumn and attracts hords of butterflys.
Culture: Full sun, Well drained, yet moist soil. Prefers a bit of lime for best growth. Trim back to 12 inches in the spring. Grows 6-8ft tall and wide in one season, so give it room to grow.

Variegated Butterfly Bush
5-9
This butterfly bush has a very bright 3 season interest. In spring you get a flush of bright yellow leaves, which as they age, get a dark stripe of green down the center. Summer you have a profusion of plum- colored flowers, which as the name suggests, attract tons of butterflies. This flowering slows down but often continues into autumn.
Culture: Same as above, but as with any other variegated plant, pinch out any green leaf reversion.
