The Flutterby Grande® Peach Cobbler Butterfly Bush is a full-sized butterfly bush with classic large, arching blooms, that is also sterile and can never produce pollen or seed, so it won’t spread into the surrounding natural environment. It blooms continuously from mid-summer to the first frost, with large blossom heads containing 600 individual flowers. The color begins as bright pink, and then turns salmon-orange as the flower heads age. Growing over 6 feet tall, this plant is a magnet for many species of butterflies, bees, and beautiful hummingbirds too. Children adore this plant, and they will be entertained for hours – and so will you be.
Grow the Flutterby Grande® Peach Cobbler Butterfly Bush in full sun, in any well-drained soil, including poor, urban soils, sands, and dry clay. This tough plant is very drought-resistant once it is established, which only takes a few months, and it is long-lived and normally free of pests and diseases. It resists wind, rain, and high temperatures. The only care needed is an annual pruning to remove thinner stems and leave a sturdy, open framework of short branches to produce new growth for the season.
