Your butterflies are going to like it a lot. The ones mine came from were a part of SIL's neighbors. They have it as a privacy hedge. It will gain about 1-1.5 ' a year. Plus it is an evergreen.. When everything else gets bare. Even frozen quite a lot of leaves.
The winter birds this Privit attracts are so special. When all the butterflies are down there, we still have wildlife to watch. Kinglets will gravitate toward this tree in late fall, and stay until mid February. I already miss those tiny little birds that set up house in the Privit.
