Description

Miss Molly Butterfly Bush is a sultry, color-saturated variety that stands out with its uniquely deep, true pink flower spikes. Unlike many butterfly bushes that lean toward purple, 'Miss Molly' offers a clear, rich raspberry-pink hue that deepens in color as the blooms mature. It blooms continuously from midsummer to fall, filling the air with a light, sweet fragrance. With a more compact, upright habit than older varieties, it delivers intense color and prolific blooms while attracting swarms of butterflies, making it a sensational focal point.

  • True Deep Pink Blooms: Renowned for its unusually saturated, true pink (not purple) flower color, which holds well without fading to lavender.

  • Strong, Upright & Compact Form: Grows with a vigorous, yet tidy, upright fountain-like shape, staying more contained than traditional butterfly bushes.

  • Sterile & Pollinator Friendly: A Proven Winners ColorChoice shrub that is noted for its very low seed set, reducing invasiveness while being a top nectar source for butterflies and hummingbirds.

  • Long Blooming & Fragrant: Produces flower spikes from early summer into autumn. The blooms have a pleasant, honey-like scent.

  • Ideal for Color Impact: Its vibrant pink color makes it an excellent choice for creating bold contrast in sunny borders, cottage gardens, or as a standalone specimen.

Faqs

Q: How does its pink color compare to 'Pink Delight'?
A: 'Miss Molly' is a much deeper, hotter pink—often described as raspberry or fuchsia—while 'Pink Delight' is a softer, pastel baby pink. 'Miss Molly' offers more intense, vibrant color.

Q: Does it require special soil conditions?
A: No, it is very adaptable. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil of average fertility. Like all butterfly bushes, it excels in poor, dry soils and dislikes wet, boggy conditions. Avoid rich, moist soil which can lead to excessive leafy growth at the expense of flowers.
