This spectacular surprise lily emerges seemingly from nowhere in August to form 28" tall stalks

From late spring through midsummer

The silvery cast to the foliage (especially evident fall through spring) and compact (5' tall x 6' wide) habit combine to make Pink Delight Butterfly Bush a truly spectacular deer-resistant buddleia

growing in extremely dry soils once established

gather your neighbors for the fragrant flowering ritual

Salvia leucantha Midnight Lycoris This spectacular surprise lily emerges(syn: Salvia leucantha All Purple) This is the same wonderful late summer and fall blooming salvia as Salvia leucantha, but instead of white florets inside the purple calyces, the florets are also a dark velvety purple a hummingbird delight and another of those great flowers to fondle. It's hard to imagine, but visitors who see it in flower don't leave without one!
