New Butterfly Bushes
We still have a fantastic selection of Butterfly Bushes including 'Blue Chip', 'Miss Molly', and 'Tutti Fruitti'; three new varieties that have knocked our socks off! Click on the "more" button for details.
Lo & Behold Blue Chip from Proven Winners is actually two years old now. It is a true dwarf at only two feet tall x three feet wide and it blooms non-stop beginning in midsummer.
Miss Molly, another Proven Winners variety is a compact shrub (4'-5' x 4'-5') that is the closest to a true red Butterfly Bush that we have seen. Previous varieties like Royal Red and Attraction were actually more purple than red. But not Miss Molly - when you see her in full bloom you see RED!
Petite Tutti Fruitti is another new true dwarf variety from Ball Horticulture. Like Blue Chip, it is only two feet tall x three feet wide, but Tutti Fruitti has bright, bright pink flowers that really pop!
We like them because of their controlled growth habit, fantastic bright colors, and long bloom cycle. All of our stock is still in full bloom and setting even more buds which means they will continue blooming well into Fall. Also, these new varieties do not set viable seed, so they are not invasive.
