Butterfly Bush
This dwarf cultivar reaches a maximum height of six feet with partial or full sun. From midsummer to fall it produces panicles of white blooms that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. It is a specimen, fine for a border, and, as usual, it should be pruned back in the spring to enable even more growth. It is also deer resistant and will tolerate drought once it is established.
