Flutterby Buddleias

Flutterby Buddleias

New for 2012 is the exciting series of dwarf buddleias called Flutterbys. Developed by Ball Ornamentals in Illinois, this dramatically different line of butterfly bushes will surprise and delight you! There is a fun range of colors including ones like Blueberry Cobbler and Sweet Marmalade. They also appear to be more environmentally responsible. It’s great to have a series of Buddleia that you don’t have to worry about becoming invasive. It’s an added bonus! We love the idea of a series of sterile, drought-tolerant, dwarf Buddleias. Grow them along walkways, tuck them into perennial gardens, hang them in a basket or display them in containers! Here is a listing of the varieties we now have in stock:

Sweet Marmalade –light orange
Tangerine Dream – deep orange
Snow White – pure white
Blue Heaven – lilac
Vanilla – creamy with orange centers
Petite Tutti Fruitti- deep pink
Peace – soft pink with orange centers
Lavender – deep purple

The mature height ranges from 18 inches to 6 feet! Yes, some are indeed small enough to be considered for areas previously off limits to the old standard grow-like-a-weed butterfly bushes! Stock is limited so don’t delay.
