Psychedelic Sky Butterfly Bush is a compact deciduous shrub with a tidy upright habit and grey-green foliage. Its fragrant, light blue violet flowers bloom on long upright panicles through summer and in fall if deadheaded, attracting bees and butterflies. Best performance in sunny well-drained areas. Good drought tolerance.
