Such pretty colored blooms Review by Suzy - Cleveland, OH
Posted on 2013-01-08 19:47:48

I received one rainbow butterfly bush in the pre-planned garden I purchased. The first year was slow to grow but the next it grew profusely and bloomed its heart out. Amazing purple orange prettiest blooms I've ever seen. Ohio had a hot dry summer last year and this bush still bloomed beautifully. highly recommend.

It was very small when it arrived but with tender loving care and water it grew and grew and now it sits in the middle of my patio in a large pot and i get to enjoy the butterflies, humming birds and the nice smell. Thanks to you Michigan Bulb Co.




Not Happy with Butterfly Bush Review by Debbie Royalty - Toledo, OH
Posted on 2012-04-04 17:07:26

I ordered 5 butterfly bushes and planted them last fall. Only one of them has survived and we had a very mild winter. I am going to order one more and see if planting in the spring makes a difference. I think the pics are beautiful and hope spring planting makes a difference.




So pretty! Review by MMT - Little Rock, AR

I love any plant that can thrive and take abuse (excessive pruning) and very high heat with drought like conditions. This is a great fast growing abuse-loving plant!




mystery blooms solved Review by Regina - Port Richey, FL
Posted on 2012-03-29 18:17:51

I moved to Florida last year in February and noticed this bush in my yard. I saw so many beautiful butterflies which I snapped picture's of. No matter how many time's the property maintenance cleared the bush off, they came right back faster and stronger. they are worth buying and they spread the grounds fast.. And I always wondered what amazing scent that bush created now I know.. Thank You Michigan Bulb for showing that picture; the mystery has been solved in my backyard.....

Very fast grower - over 4 feet tall and wide by the end of the first summer in the ground. Beautiful flowers all summer long.

Rainbow Butterfly Bush Review by K Garas - Rockford, IL
Posted on 2012-02-08 14:10:46

These bushes are quite hardy. The first year, my dogs were pretty hard on them. But they came right back, and the butterflies and hummingbirds love them.
