The story

Big flowers, small footprint.

Fat, full-size spikes of periwinkle-blue flowers on a plant that stays around 2 ft tall. Butterflies find it fast, and it keeps putting out new spikes from midsummer to frost.

Light

Full sun. In shade it blooms sparsely.

Water

Water weekly the first summer; established plants handle dry spells.

Planting

Plant in spring in well-drained soil, crown at soil level. It hates wet winter feet.

The butterfly-bush show in a size that fits a pot or the front of a bed.
