What I Planted: Butterfly Bush

I planted the variety "Attraction" it looked pretty purple to me but the description says it is the "reddest" of the Butterfly Bushes. I can handle that! :)

Here is what it will look like:

The local True Value has some pink ones too, and I might get one of those also. I'm planting these in the flowerbed where my "James Galway" English Rose is in my continuing quest to attract more butterfly varieties. Part of my reasoning is selfish. I want to photograph them! In fairness to me, however, it's part of a long range plan to naturalize the lawn more and have lots of wildlife to watch and enjoy!

Have a great day, where ever you garden! ~JB was here
