PERENNIAL SERIES: Featuring Butterfly Bushes!

June is Perennial Gardening Month Featuring.....Butterfly Bushes!!

Butterfly bushes have been a sensation in American gardens for years! It's a magnificent shrub that adds color, fragrance, and wildlife to your sunny perennial garden. It's also easy to grow, blooms profusely, and has a magic quality that butterflies can’t resist! They emit a special honey-scented fragrance that lures butterflies in and once they’re there, they find the flower’s super-rich nectar!  Butterfly Bushes are just starting to bloom, so this is the perfect time to get one for Father's Day!

Why is it important to plant pollinator-friendly plants? Most flowering plants depend on butterflies for pollination. It’s an essential part of plant reproduction, so we need to provide them the necessary nectar for food. Butterfly bushes are great for this and they bloom all summer long into the fall, providing butterflies with an extended food source!
