Βutterfly Βush is another popular shrub thanks to its fragrant, abundant and multi-colored flowers. But not only. Because it is easy to cultivate and highly adaptable, it can also even be as little as consistent gardener of having it in its garden. And with him and his neighbor. And from a neighbor to a neighbor it can be diverted and even behave like a weed.
This behavior has forced the breeders to create a lot of different varieties and hybrids with even more beautiful colors and more attractive fragrances, but without fear of its unwanted growth limits.
Thus, it is possible for everyone to enjoy it. Now, if Βutterfly Βush is happy itshelf confesses that we here in ‘Kalliergeia’ do not know it. But we promise not to know and not to let you know.
And this promise, we are committed to keeping.
If not, it will not be the first time.
