This medium sized butterfly bush has dazzling huge pink blooms. It's an excellent choice for a shrub-like plant that will add beautiful bubble gum pink blooms to your yard. Coming in at 4 feet tall and wide, it is useful in a range of situations where you might use other less showy and colorful shrubs. Cherry Royale is a nice sized shrub for the back of a border garden or a foundation planting where you want some serious color. We think these are perfect shrubs for those looking for a hydrangea alternative in a location with full sun. Foliage is a minty green and wispy providing a nice layering effect to the shrub and a perfect backdrop for other flowers before the blooms emerge in late summer. The MONARCH® Butterfly Bush collection consists of medium sized bushes that have a gum-drop like shape and flower profusely for the majority of the summer and early fall months. The butterfly bush is a staple of many gardens due to its fast growth rate, hardiness, and prolific blooms. Arriving in late summer, the bottle shaped blooms of this buddleia are 8-10 inches in length and a pink that pops over in hints of darker red in the interior. Butterfly bushes are named such because they are a bounty for pollinators attracting hummingbirds, bees, butterflies and other pollinators to their sweet-scented blooms.
