Pink Delight Butterfly Bush is a well branching compact shrub with a spreading, arching habit and willowy grey-green leaves with whitish undersides. The long and dense spike-like terminal clusters of fragrant bright pink flowers bloom in summer attracting bees and butterflies. Removing spent flowers can encourage continued blooms until frost. Best performance in sunny well-drained areas.
