Description

Now you can enjoy butterflies and hummingbirds buzzing around your gardens without giving up much space. The varieties in the Flutterby Petite Series are dwarf bushes sized perfectly for smaller gardens and large containers, growing only 2-3 feet tall and wide. Tutti Fruitti produces 4 to 5″ spikes of fragrant, striking pinkish-purple flowers on bushes one-third the size of their taller growing cousins. The butterflies and hummingbirds will thank you for planting this one! As with all butterfly bush, this one is drought tolerant when established and deer turn their nose up to it.

Landscape & Garden Uses

We have Flutterby Tutti Fruitti growing in both garden beds and pots in our landscape. In the ground, it grows 3 feet tall with an equal or slightly wider spread making it an ideal choice for smaller garden spaces where larger growing butterfly bush won’t fit. In containers it doesn’t grow quite as large, maybe 2 feet tall by 2 feet wide or so. That said, we’d recommend a larger pot of at least 15 inches or more in diameter. Ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or massed in landscape borders, flowering shrub borders and perennial gardens. A natural choice for butterfly and hummingbird gardens, pink theme gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Suggested Spacing: 2.5 to 3 feet apart for solid hedges or mass plantings; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Flutterby Tutti Fruitti Butterfly Bush is exceptionally easy to grow. It thrives in full to mostly sun and isn’t too picky about soil type, provided the soil is well-drained and of average fertility. At least 6 hours of direct sun per day is recommended for best flowering. As with so many other plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can cause problems with the roots.

Excellent packaging. Obviously were vigorous plants last season. Now time will tell if they grow well in situ. Zone 7a. received & planted early March. One of three is not exhibiting as much early greening.———————————————–Thanks so much! Let us know if there’s ever anything we can help you with. 🙂 – Beth | WBG
