Blue Butterfly Bush
Its not hard to work out how this pretty semi deciduous shrub was given the common name of the blue butterfly bush. This blue flowering bush can be grown in almost any position from temperate to tropical climates, though it does prefer a half to full sunny position and well drained soil. When fully grown it reaches a height of 3 metres and is 2-3 metres round. This shrub tends to straggle so is best cut back in winter and tip pruned when about 30cm long. The flowers appear in summer and autumn and seem to last for months in my garden.
