I bought a "rescue" Butterfly bush last fall. Didn't know if it would make it through the winter but it did. Before it got too cold I was wandering around the garden & knocked into the bush. Seeds went everywhere. I made a mental note of it so I could see if any grew in the spring. Yep! They did. I potted up 60 of them to give away. I was sooo tired of potting them up, I just left the rest to grow under the mama. About a month ago I dug up some more of them & planted them in containers & in various places in my yard. They seem to be very easy.
This fall I deadheaded it. I didn't want to deal with all those babies!
I don't know what variety it is, but it is a very nice pinkish lavender color. I like its weeping habit.
Anyone wanting some in the spring, let me know. I've never sent anything out before but will be glad to try.
