This
new shorter-statured "Butterfly Bush" only gets 5-6' tall
and is much easier to place in most gardens than the larger
varieties. Want humming birds and butterflies in your garden?
This is a favorite of theirs and it has a long blooming time (June to
October) It can take our low water restrictions in California; and
deer leave it alone.
Looking
for a good home, while happily blooming in the Cottage Garden, this
extremely hardy, long-blooming and low-maintenance jewel doesn't ask
for much other than good drainage. They actually benefit from
some dryness....and oh yes, deer don't like them!
Be
prepared for clouds of exquisite, eye-catching, scarlet-red flowers!
“Pineapple sage” blooms late in the Summer
thru Fall providing
a nectar oasis for hummingbirds! We humans can enjoy the sight
& a sweet ripe pineapple scent (& taste!) from the crisp,
yellow-green leaves. This is another deer-resistant and
low-water plant.
