Description
Show-stopping, wonderfully fragrant, 6 to 18 inches long bright purplish-red fragrant flower spikes produced in abundance on the Attraction Butterfly Bush come all summer long to frost! The butterflies and hummingbirds will thank you for planting this selection. As with all butterfly bush, this one is drought tolerant when established and deer turn their nose up to it.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Attraction grows 4-6 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. In containers it doesn’t grow quite as large, maybe 3 feet tall by 2 feet wide or so. That said, we’d recommend a larger pot of at least 15 inches or more in diameter. Ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or massed in landscape borders, flowering shrub borders and perennial gardens. A natural choice for butterfly and hummingbird gardens, Xeriscape gardens (low water needs, and blue-themed color gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart for solid hedges or mass plantings; 7 feet or more for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Butterfly Bushes is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Attraction Butterfly Bush is exceptionally easy to grow. It thrives in full to mostly sun and isn’t too picky about soil type, provided the soil is well-drained and of average fertility. At least 6 hours of direct sun per day is recommended for best flowering. As with so many other plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can cause problems with the roots.
