Buddleia 'Nanho Purple'

[ height 3-4 ft., flower purple in summer, sun, shrub ]

BUTTERFLY BUSH A fine addition to a shrub or perennial border. Prefers fertile soil. Attracts butterflies, and makes a fine cut flower. Cut back to 6 -10 in. before spring growth or at least back to live buds. Cutting back in spring will keep plant size controlled over years if desired. This large, arching shrub presents gray green to blue green leaves. Flowers are reminiscent of lilac shaped flowers, but more slender and pointed, with a gentler fragrance. Dead-heading induces continued blooming.
