PLANT PROFILE
Bred in the UK by Peter Moore of Longstock Nurseries.More about the Breeder:
Commonly known as 'Butterfly Bush', this evergreen shrub boasts striking felted foliage of silver-grey. During summer fragrant flower heads of ivory white with a central yellow eye are produced over a lengthy period.

This makes a terrific accent plant for general garden use. It is an attractive focal plant in large containers. Performs equally well in cool or hot colour schemes blending well with blues and greens as well as toning down brighter reds and oranges.
CULTURAL CARE
This variety is hardy, growing in most soil types given good drainage. For best results, choose a full sun position. Although dry tolerant, regular deep watering should be applied during extended dry spells. Cut back hard at the end of winter to remove previous seasons stems and promote new, dense growth.

A single application of slow release fertiliser during spring would be beneficial to overall performance.
