They are excellent for butterfly gardens and the deer often avoid them so these are good for the countryside. They not only look beautiful in our flower gardens but have other uses. They can get 6′-12′ tall and have a spread of 4′-15′. Butterfly bushes are placed on the back yard fence behind the kiwi vines. Butterfly bushes are carefree deciduous shrubs that are reliably fragrant and easy to grow. They are also a favorite of hummingbirds, particularly the ruby-throated variety. They are very attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
