Description

Now you can enjoy butterflies and hummingbirds buzzing around 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 3 feet tall and wide. Petite Blue Heaven Butterfly Bush produces full size, 4 to 6″ spikes of lavender-blue flowers on bushes one-third the size of their taller growing cousins. The flowers are more lavender than they are blue in our gardens. As with all butterfly bush, Blue Heaven is drought tolerant when established and deer turn their nose up to it.

Landscape & Garden Uses

We have Flutterby Blue Heaven growing in both garden beds and pots in our landscape. In the ground it’s 3 foot height 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, Xeriscape gardens (low water needs, and blue-themed color gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 2.5 to 3 feet apart for solid hedges or mass plantings; 6 to 7 feet apart or more for space between plants

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Butterfly Bush variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Flutterby Blue Heaven 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.

This is our 2nd Butterfly Bush, we are so glad to get the 3 gallon this time, as it is more established and grows slowly. The last one is beautiful and the butterflies really do love it. Can wait for this one’s time to bloom.

Since I’ve never had a Butterfly Bush before I really didn’t know what to expect but my bush arrived very healthy and very well packaged. It’s been in the ground for 2 1/2 weeks and has grown rapidly!. What’s amazing to me though is the fact that it’s literally COVERED in beautiful purplish blue flowers already! I love this bush!——————————Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG

I am delighted to find Wilson Brothers! I have a large and ever-growing garden, and often become overwhelmed at the nursery. With time to sit and reflect upon what I need, browsing their website, I feel confident I am purchasing exactly the plants I need.
When we suffered flooding for two weeks, and the plants delivered had died bc we were unable to get to our river house, the plants were replaced without question.————————-Hi Angelique, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Flutterby Petite Blue Heaven Dwarf Butterfly Bush.
