Fragrant Light-Purple Blooms from Summer to Frost with Sterile Seeds for Extended Flowering
Butterfly Bush Asian Moon features fragrant light-purple flowers that bloom continuously from summer to frost, creating months of color and attracting butterflies and pollinators to the garden. This sterile-seeded variety produces more flowers than traditional butterfly bushes because energy goes into blooming rather than seed production, delivering exceptional floral displays throughout the growing season. Thriving in full sun with deer tolerance and low maintenance requirements, Asian Moon is perfect for mixed borders, pollinator gardens, and adding long-lasting color to the landscape.
