Black Butterfly Bush

Visited our local nursery yesterday. There were so many plants to choose from. But I went there to get a plant I have been wanting for a long time. A black butterfly bush. The blooms are actually a deep purple and stunning. I have a white one and now a black one. Hopefully it can get planted today. So excited about this new plant. Another addition to Dustin’s garden. It will be next year before it blooms but it should look like the photo above, fingers crossed. More butterflies will visit with two bushes. Plans for today? Nothing here. Enjoy your day.

@CarolDM Since I am thinking about doing a butterfly garden, was this plant expensive?

We have a white one. I’m sure the black butterfly bush will make a perfect addition to Dustin’s garden.

@DianneN Yes I have tons of photos from the white one with butterflies over the past few years. And hummingbirds.

At first when I haven't read you're whole story I thought you're referring on the butterfly:) Very lovely and striking flower though.

I have only been cleaning today, and enjoying the weather. That is an awesome looking butterfly bush. I have seeds here to grow one..but they are a few years old now. I am not sure they would still be good.

Another reason I like them, something different. You can ask for this name, Buddleia Black Knight Butterfly Bush.
