Blue Mist Shrub
What a great shrub! Blue Mist Shrub is loaded with showy blue blossoms in late summer, perfuming the air with a sweet aroma. Even better, it likes dry soil and full sun, so it's perfect for hard-to-grow areas. Attracts butterflies, too! Potted.
Zone 5 to 8

| Unique Characteristics: |
|
All parts of this plant are aromatic making it one of the best shrubs to draw in bees and butterflies. A well grown plant is covered with the beautiful misty-blue flowers in late August. In northern climates it will usually die back like a Buddliea in winter, but the roots are perfectly hardy. Best flowers are achieved from plants cut short each spring, blooms on new growth. |
