Fragrant Mistflower

Want to look out your window and see a cloud of butterflies, from April to November? Fragrant Mistflower is what you need. It's white blooms offer a tempting treat to many different butterflies and other pollinating insects for 8+ months of the year. It also gets large, so it's a great value to fill in large spaces in the garden. Trim back by 1/2 after the fall frost (down to 3 feet), so that next spring it will stay more compact with new, fresh growth. It can get quite tall, but in springtime you can trim it back to 2' and keep it at 4' all summer long. Great for hot, dry locations. Learn more at Native Plant Society and Nativo Gardens.
