Yesterday I just purchased a Flutterby dwarf butterfly bush. I happened to be in Lowe's and was I surprised to see these. I knew they were the new hybrids that are rated as sterile, therefore non-invasive. We grow a lot of daylilies, but we need other flowering plants in our gardens when the daylily bloom season is over. I think this one will work well, and I would love to get more of these new introductions. I can do mail-order, but those are usually on the small side, or else the shipping charges are horrendous. Anyway, anyone on this forum growing these butterfly bushes? If so, where did you get them and how do you like them?
