Description
Lavender to violet flowers are produced in mid-spring with blue-gray finely textured foliage. A small tree or large shrub, it blends well in a naturalistic design, shrub borders or as a specimen in a mixed border or lawn.
Tips from the pros: Don’t cut back all the way in the spring like other butterfly bushes. Prune for shape and size and needed. Intolerant of excessive soil moisture. Will reseed but seedlings are easy to pull.
