PLANT ID?

Austin, TX(Zone 8b)

Guys, I know this is a long shot, but I just bought 6 of something from a local nursery and have forgotten the name! (And, my camera is charging right now, so can't take a pic!) I'm anxious to look it up in the Plant Files....so here goes!

It's a bushy plant (perrenial) that has vibrant purple (almost an "electric" color!) blooms at the end of long, arching-to-the-ground stems. The blooms on these 3-gallon sized ones are about 3 inches long and end up pointed. I know this will be a guessing game until I post a picture!!

Butterfly Bush maybe? I just bought this one on sale a few weeks ago. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/86730/

Yes, that is it, Sheila! I also got it on sale for 4.99. They are about 3 feet wide and each one has about 4-6 blooms. Did I get a good deal?

Yes you definately got a good deal for one that large! Mine was a 1g and a little sparce but was blooming. It was 50% off but I don't remember the price. Great find!
