plant is a blue butterfly bush. It not only attracts butterflys. It's flowers actually bloom from a green ball into a blue butterfly shaped flower with antennae attached. it's a beautiful plant. I just can't find them now. Can you find them for me? Thanks, Pat
Hi Pat, there are several plants with the common name of "butterfly bush" the most common one being Buddleja davidii (Orange Eye, Butterfly Bush) Anyway you can give us more details about the one you are looking for?
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I have never seen that one, another confusing common name Pat knowing the Latin name will make your search much easier.
When the guy at the nursery said he had Butterfly Bushes on his markdown rack (nothing was tagged yet), I thought he was talking about the Buddleja. Luckily we chatted awhile and he mentioned Clerodendrum. That threw me off, so that's when I asked more about the plant & it's flowers. Without the "real" name I would have planted it in the wrong spot... and talk about being surprised when it flowered!
