Miss Ruby Butterfly Bush is a miniature well-branching shrub with a dense mounding habit and willowy grey-green leaves. Terminal spikes of fragrant reddish-pink clusters that bloom continuously from summer attract pollinators and butterflies. Removing spent flowers can encourage continued blooms until frost. Best performance in sunny well-drained areas. Asexual Propagation is prohibited.
