While browsing around a local nursery a few weeks ago I noticed a somewhat pitiful (for a bush) plant in a gallon container. It had an old wood appearence to the trunk, similar to boxwood, a short trunk and interesting branching structure, so I picked it up and brought it home. Kind of like a stray plant. It's a little tall now and needs to be cut back to the older branches. All of the blooms are at the end of fairly long branches.

The info on the container says:

Buddleia variety nanhoensis 'Nanho Blue'

Butterfly Bush

Spreading dwarf habit of about 5' high, the mauve-blue flowers lie in a bed of silver-green foliage. Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. Prefers full sun in dry, well-drained soils. Deciduous. Zones 6-10
