General Information
Roughly a third the size of traditional butterfly bush varieties, the English Butterfly Series™ plants are extra bushy and loaded with colorful flowers. PURPLE EMPEROR™ has large mauve-purple flowers. All three varieties are prolific and fragrant bloomers that will attract butterflies and hummingbirds to the summer garden. The compact size of these new cultivars is perfect for smaller gardens and the mixed border. They can also be used as a container plant in milder climates.
