Perennials >> Perennials, 1 Gallon
Our one gallon perennials are grown here at our Westen New York greenhouse. Some varieties are second year grown from seed. Others are vegetative, that is we have propogated from cutting or division.
A selection from Dr. Michael Dirr out of 'Honeycomb'. The first buddleia ever to offer two completely different colors on the same inflorescence! Fragrant, lavender and butterscotch yellow flowers blend together for a fascinating bicolor effect. Panicles grow up to 10 inches long and show up well against the clean grey-green foliage. Compact growth habit.
Butterfly Bushes have certainly earned their place in the garden over the years, and its easy to see why. Just when we need a breath of fresh air in the late summer heat, they happily burst into bloom. At a time when many other plants are already spent, buddleias are just beginning their show. Their passive coloring and texture makes a wonderful backdrop for perennials, and you'll love the butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds that flock to their honey-scented blossoms.

We carefully select perennial varieties that will do well in our Western New York Gardens. All our perennials are hardy to Zone 6 for those of us nearer to the lake, and most are hardy to Zone 5.
