Groovy Grape Butterfly Bush is a deciduous shrub with a rounded to upright habit and grey-green foliage. Its fragrant, vivid deep violet flowers bloom on long upright panicles through summer and in fall if deadheaded, attracting bees and butterflies. Best performance in sunny well-drained areas. Good drought tolerance. Can be rejuvenated by cutting back to 1ft from the ground.
