Tons of Butterflies!, April 7, 2008
Submitted by Mxstressica from Ellicott City, MD

"I grew mine in a large container and had a great display of white blooms. It attracted tons of swallow-tail butterflies all season long.

The flower spikes were a little shorter than other varieties I have grown, but lovely just the same. I think the shorter flower spikes may have been due to the partial shade the plant was situated in.

Keep it watered in the Summer - they wilt if you don't, but recover pretty quickly once they have had a thorough soak.

For some reason mine didn't come back the next year, but it was a pretty ugly winter for a young plant - I would have given it a higher rating otherwise."

Butterfly Bush Seeds, August 25, 2006
Submitted by Leigha from Jackson

Plant performance:		4 out of 5
Appearance:		5 out of 5

"Planted the seeds in winter. Had very good luck with how many plants came up. Transplanted the plants in Spring and they have done very well. Had blooms on most of them this summer. Colors vary some but for most part, they are all a shade of purple. Didn't get any white or pink ones at all."
