July Monrovia Pick

Our July Monrovia Pick

            A closer look at Monrovia’s Lo & Behold® Dwarf Butterfly Bush reveals why it is quite possibly our favorite variety yet.  Like other butterfly bush varieties, it is fragrant and known to attract butterflies and hummingbirds.  However, this breakthrough variety is fast growing and stays under three feet tall without any pruning which makes it extremely easy to grow and maintain.  It is sterile and will not set seedlings.  The Lo & Behold® Butterfly Bush blooms continuously from mid-summer to mid-fall and is known to be deer resistant.  It is ideal for border, container or mass plantings.      

Planting and Care instructions:  Prefers full sun.  Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly.  Cut back in winter or early spring.  Apply controlled-release fertilizer in spring.
