Among the hardiest of the butterfly bush species, these Chinese natives boast dark green upper leaves with fuzzy white undersides, giving them a silvery-gray look and a delightful landscape texture that can be difficult to find elsewhere. From a distance, the gracefully arching branches on a fully mature shrub can nearly fool you into thinking you're looking at a weeping willow. Fragrant lilac purple flowers emerge in mid-summer on older growth. As with most butterfly bush species, full sun and evenly moist, well-drained soil is necessary for best performance and winter survival.
