Grand Cascade Butterfly Bush
Buddleja 'Grand Cascade'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Shrub
Plant Family: Buddlejaceae
Plant Description: Butterfly Bushes are known to be eye catchers in the landscape, and this one is no exception. Large, densely packed panicles of light lavender blossoms elegantly weep downwards, hence its name. The panicles are larger compared to others of its kind. These blossoms will add color and light fragrance in the later summer while other perennials are slowly ending their show. The subtly beautiful foliage adds a great backdrop for these cascading blossoms as well as other colorful perennials.
