Honeycomb Butterfly Bush is a well-branching shrub with an upright mounded habit and glossy gray-green leaves. Terminal spikes of fragrant deep yellow flowers with orange eyes bloom continuously through summer into fall, and may last until frost attract pollinators and butterflies. Best performance in sunny well-drained areas. Drought tolerant.
