Available for purchase are seeds from one of the stars of my butterfly and hummingbird garden. The White Profusion Butterfly Bush is a beautiful, stately shrub, attracting several butterflies and hummingbirds each day! I have been blessed over the last 2 years to have the Nanhoe Blue seedling pop up and survive our harsh winters. I made sure to save seeds from my White Profusion! They prefer a winter mulch and die back to the ground every frost, but quickly grow to full sixe the next summer.
