Monrovia® Summer Bird Magenta Butterfly Bush is well-branched dwarf shrub with a dense mound of willowy grey-green foliage and long lasting blooms. The large fragrant spike-like clusters of intense magenta flowers bloom through summer into fall attracting butterflies. Removing spent flowers can encourage continued blooms until frost. Best performance in sunny well-drained areas.
