Buddleja Flutterby Petite® Tutti Fruitti Pink (Butterfly Bush) is a miniature deciduous shrub with gracefully arching branches, studded with lance-shaped, fuzzy, gray-green leaves and sweetly scented panicles of bright fuchsia-pink flowers. Borne at the tips of the stems, the flower spikes are freely produced from early summer through early fall and sometimes to the first frost. A superb, easily-grown, dwarf Butterfly Bush that is favored by butterflies and works well as a groundcover, thanks to its compact and spreading habit.
