Flutterby Grande® Peach Cobbler Butterfly Bush features showy panicles of fragrant salmon flowers with orange eyes at the ends of the branches from early summer to early fall. The flowers are excellent for cutting. It has attractive green foliage throughout the season. The fuzzy narrow leaves are highly ornamental but do not develop any appreciable fall color. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Flutterby Grande® Peach Cobbler Butterfly Bush is an open multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
Flutterby Grande® Peach Cobbler Butterfly Bush will grow to be about 6 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 6 feet. It tends to be a little leggy, with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.
Flutterby Grande® Peach Cobbler Butterfly Bush makes a fine choice for the outdoor landscape, but it is also well-suited for use in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
