The flower clusters appear at the ends of long and arching branches on plants that grow 8 to 10 feet tall by 4 to 5 feet wide. The willow-like, grayish green leaves are a wonderful contrast and backdrop for the flowers. Great for use in perennial gardens and and outdoor living spaces where the butterflies and hummingbirds that flock to the plant can be viewed as they feast on the honey-scented flowers.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 8 to 10 foot tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, the Black Knight Butterfly Bush is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a colorful hedge or background in landscape and perennial borders. A fine addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens, purple theme gardens, Xeriscape gardens (low water needs and cottage gardens.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  3 feet apart for solid hedges or mass plantings;  7' or more apart for space between plants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Measure Total Square Feet Of A Planting Area\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Butterfly Bush variety is not winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eKnight Butterfly Bush thrives in full to mostly sun and isn't too picky about soil type, provided the soil is well-drained.
