An absolute magnet for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, the Black Knight Butterfly Bush Pre-Potted Shrub is a necessity when planning a pollinator-friendly garden! This flowering shrub features fragrant, long, deep-purple flower spikes that bloom from mid-Summer into Fall. The arching habit can reach 4-6' tall and wide, perfect for along fence lines, bordering a lot line or simply as a statement piece in a full-sun garden. Butterfly Bushes thrive in full sun and can handle high heat and drought conditions once established. To help promote new healthy growth and flowering, it is recommended to cut back to 6-12" in Spring before new growth appears. Our Black Knight Butterfly Bush is a fantastic choice for a full sun garden space, pollinators will love it and so will you!
