Crown Jewels Butterfly Bush

This little plant that grows between three and a half and five feet tall should be planted in full sun. It features magenta purple flowers that sparkle like jewels over its gold foliage from late summer through early fall until a secondary bloom extends the show later into the fall. It is a magnet for bees, butterflies and hummingbirds attracted to its honey scented blooms. Cutting back the plant to a height of twelve inches when blooms slow will assure a fast growing plant newly covered with blooms in the spring. It is very durable and reliable.
