Grand Cascade Butterfly Bush is a fast-growing bushy deciduous shrub with dense feathery grey-green foliage and enormous cascading panicles that can read to a foot in length. These well packed panicles of sweetly fragrant light lavender flowers bloom late in the season, from late summer into fall, attracting bees and butterflies. Best performance in sunny well-drained areas. Good drought and frost tolerance.
