The Pink Delight butterfly bush is an extremely popular choice as it produces the most wonderful display of candy-floss pink flowers in summer. The tiny pink flowers are densely packed on to large flower spikes that appear at the end of arching stems. The leaves are slender and green in colour and they have paler undersides to them. As suggested with its common name, this bush is very popular with butterflies and it is also popular with bees who love to pollinate its flowers. This is one of the best choices for late summer fragrance and colour and it is well-suited to being planted in a border.
